When you use a foreign language on the BNQT, you must first enable that
language. Then, you must change your computer braille table to the computer
braille table of the foreign language. The only foreign languages the BN
supports are Spanish, German, French (France and Canadian) and Italian. To
input characters faster, a qwerty user can connect an external qwerty
keyboard to his or her BNQT. Be sure the keyboard has an external numpad.
To enter a unicode character, you can hold down the alt key on your external
keyboard and type the number for the unicode character using the numpad. I
have tried it with a standard qwerty keyboard and this method works.
I don't know what would happen if you connected a foreign language qwerty
keyboard to your BNQT, whether the foreign language keys would work, but I
don't think they would.
Still, you could try it. It would be much less dangerous than trying to
modify a foreign language table to input characters for a language the BN
doesn't support. You would probably make the table useless so that it would
not work with the foreign language for which it was originally designed and
it would not work for any foreign language which isn't supported by the BN.
