Hi again. I finally got it to work but then the document came up
in what I can only perceive to be grade 2 German Braille. It was
full of abbreviations I have never seen before, although I
recognized many of the contractions, including those not normally
featured in grade 1,5. I don't understand what is going on.
Even when I tried reading it as a text document with grade 2 (US
computer) Braille, some of it was incomprehensible, and I have
studied German at university level and know at least some of the
contractions for grade 1,5 German Braille. If there is anyone on
this list who knows the German Braille code really well, could
they please contact me? I really need some help trying to
decipher it.
Cheers!
Michele

I have also had problems with this, switching between French,
Spanish and
German braille is an exorcise in futility.

Subject: [Braillenote] Problem With Translating German Manual
into German
Braille
Hi listers. I have a document which is the manual of a musical
software
program written in German. I just tried translating it into
grade 1,5
German Braille on my APEX. However, although I tried several
times, it
always came out with an English Grade 2 code at the beginning,
followed by
grade 2 English Braille. I checked the Braille options and it
said that the
language had definitely been set to German. In the utilities
menu, the
working language was English, but when I changed this as well,
the
translation still came out in grade 2 English Braille. I'd be
happy to send
an attachment to anyone willing or able to assist me with this
problem.
Thanks.
Michele
