Frankly, if the synth doesn't support foreign languages (and I suspect 
the version of Eloquence in the Sense products is English only), I doubt 
it ultimately makes much sense to support foreign languages. The Blazie 
products did not unless you purchased additional software with them 
enabled.

AS I keep saying here, remember that we're essentially dealing with a 
PDA.

I'd rather that some of the outstanding bugs be squashed rather than GW 
Micro and HIMS engaging in rampant featuritis!

Subject: [GWN] Improvement: support for foreign languages


Foreign languages.



Students in the United States are required to take foreign languages in 
high school, and college. Many go on to advanced study of a foreign 
language, and many others were born in other countries. Blazie 
Engineering developed foreign language support for over 10 languages, 
which increased Braille 'n Speak, and Braille Lite use. Likewise, 
Freedom Scientific has support for foreign languages.



I would like to strongly suggest that foreign languages be supported in 
the braille sense product. This would m-power the user of the Sense to 
pursue, or continue to develop their foreign language skills. I, for 
one, would love to see support for Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian. 
Other languages could include German, Russian, Ucranian, Polish, 
Japonese, and so on.

    If an infinite number of rednecks riding in an infinite number of 
pickup trucks fire an infinite number of shotgun rounds at an infinite 
number of highway signs, they will eventually produce all the world's 
great literary works in Braille.
