When I took spanish in high school, it was in grade 1.  The complication with 
using grade 2 is that the ch and the accented letters take up some of the grade 
2 symbols.  I have never heard of it being done before.  I would say the 
punctuation is the same, but do not really remember.

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
