Well, I would like to toss my knowledge in on this topic of
Spanish Braille. There are no contractions used in Spanish
Braille, it is essentially grade 1 Braille with a few additional
symbols due to the few tildes and various other accent marks. I
hope this information may help you.

Hi Brian,
No, the BrailleNote will not translate Spanish into contracted
Spanish
Braille. Honestly, I am not sure as to whether contracted
Spanish Braille is
used very much, at least, I have never seen it used in my Spanish
textbooks,
but that is a separate matter which probably would best be left
alone on
this list to avoid getting off-topic. I am not an expert on the
topic but
the only difference I have seen between Spanish computer Braille,
and
regular grade 1 Spanish uncontracted Braille are the punctuation
marks. My
bottom line is that I have never experienced the need for
contracted Spanish
Braille, and although it would be nice if one day the BrailleNote
could
support regular uncontracted Grade 1 Spanish, this limitation has
not posed
a major problem for me. I'm sure there are people on this list
who know more
about this topic than I do, so please feel free to correct me if
necessary.
Hope this helps.
Lindsay

Dear Lindsay:
Thank you for the prompt response to my query about the features
of the multi lingual pack.
You mentioned the Spanish pack supports Spanish computer
Braille.
So I take it the pack doesn't translate Spanish text into say
contracted Spanish Braille.
Thanks for the info that it includes a spell check dictionary.
True enough, you cannot comment on the features the other
languages have as you haven't use them.
Thank you for the speedy reply.
Brian
