Yes, I thought it was odd that I had the French language option when I do not 
have any languages other than English installed.  I really wondered what all 
the options in the list were about.  One Braille language table seems to be 
Braille, which is a bit to generic for me to have a guess what it is.
I noticed that I had an option just below the French language option for 
computer braille language.  That I do find extremely useful, so I am glad it is 
an option for Braille Notes even when another speech language is not installed. 
 I went to a website and switched to Spanish after turning my braille grade to 
computer braille.  It was nice to see Spanish displayed correctly instead of 
seeing words with all the accented characters completely missing.  Now it's 
just too bad that I don't know how to write in Spanish computer braille, since 
the braille note seems to expect 8 dot braille or something.  That is really 
something that should be an option, so that 6 or 8 dot could be used in other 
languages.
It also would be nice if even when set to grade II English the translation 
would be done correctly for accented characters.  Dot 4 in front of a letter is 
not the most informative thing, but it is correct and a lot better than having 
those accented characters completely ignored. :-)
