Spanish works fine in all areas you mentioned except embossing, and it may emboss fine as well; I never emboss anything so I cannot say. Using 8 dot Spanish computer braille works very well, though, and can be read fine by sighted people when I email doc files I create and/or print them out. You may need to change the printer ascii set in the printer setup list to get accents to print correctly, though.

Have a great day,
Alex

Subject: [Braillenote] a possible workaround for the language
problems

hi guys, i have given up on the Multilingual support of the
BrailleNote, how ever, i have found a possible work around wich is still in testing faze.
basically, what i am doing is using the 8 dot computer braille
table for the language i am using. i tested this out in german and this is how it workd:
for accents, you need to add a dot 8.
so in the case of ich wurde, (i would be) this contains a u
umlaut wich you have to do the O,U sign with dot 8 (enter) so it works. Also, you need to add a dot 6 to numbers, for example, 1 would be a and dot 6 tegether. these are my first findings, i will be posting more when i have further tested this.
at this present time, i can only do french and german, how ever,
if some one would be kind enough to assist me with spanish and italian offlist, (shown in my signature), i will certainly appriciate that.

here are more things i hope to find:
weather these extended characters willl print out correctly,
exporting a german/ or french passage to .doc and looking at the aftermath, sending a .doc file to my french/ or german teacher and seeing if the export translated the accents and finally, embossing.

with regards,
orhan deniz.
