In the tables for the full version of DBT 10.6, there is a table for
uncontracted Spanish braille. The uncontracted braille was always used when
I went to school many years ago. So, there is such a thing as uncontracted
Spanish braille.
If you use a QT keyboard, you'll have to use the unicode tables. You will
need to find out from a sighted person which accents look the best in print.
For example, the unicode tables have a acute, a a grave, a diaeresis and a
ring above and the cap a for all of these. The tables have a tilde n and
the inverted question mark and inverted exclamation point, so there should
be no problem with them.
On the top of the file, press either the space bar or the enter key and then
press read control b c so your document will be displayed in computer
braille.
You will also need to assign a braille symbol to display the accents in
braille. You can assign macros to all the accents so it won't take so lon
to type them.
I can give you instructions on how to do these things, but I need to know
the correct accents for the vowels so I don't steer you wrong.

I am so confused on how to get my spanish to work on the bn I also have a
qt. I have tried everything I know to think of. I tried computer braille,
qwerty which are the only options I think. There might be grade 2 also but
there is no grade one for spanish like there is french. Why is that? I
couldn't find anything in the tables of characters either. I tried 8 dot
braille and I am just not getting anywhere with it.

Sorry, I thought you had a bt. I have never used a qt, so can't say what
would happen. Give it a shot; you can always get back to the Options menu
to change it back, and if things do go wrong just erase keysoft.ksd from
the dictionaries folder of your flash disk and reset right from file
manager (which you should use to erase it) otherwise the file will be
recreated and will have no effect. Hope this makes sense; I am pretty
tired and my brain is shot after doing a bunch of ftp and dos scripting
(yes some people still use it! <smile>)
Have a great day,
Alex

Hi, Alex,
I've tog a QT keyboard and I only need to use foreign languages
occasionally. I agree the unicode tables are tedious, but if you
use a
particular character often enough, you can create a macro. ... I
guess I
could try 8-dot braille with the QT ... I wonder if the qt
commands would
be affected by it.

That works, but it is tedious; just use 8-dot. I just discovered
something: to make the next character only 8-dot, press
backspace-h and
you can use 8-dot on the next character you type. This avoids
having to
press space with all commands.
Have a great day,
Alex

Hi, David,
I think you'll have to insert the accents using the Unicode
Tables. I'm a
QT user, so I can't go through the steps with you, but a BT
lister could
help you.

Hello, List,
I am using Spanish computer braille with the Spanish language,
but I have
a problem with accents. I can't enter them correctly. For
instance, an
accented n is displayed in braille as dots 1-2-4-5-6, but when I
enter it,
it says 7. How do I resolve this problem, and will there be
grade 1 and 2
support for Spanish and Italian?
David
