Thanks for the suggestions. I've downloaded a couple of books. However, i can't see how a Braille translator or speech synthesizer would know what language is being used. There doesn't seem to be any indication in the xml file. Take the Rilke book, for example, do you have to tell your synthesizer whether to speak German or English ezch time you start a new page?
