Hello dux subscribers
Can you explain to this DBT newbie why you need cheat sheets? I've just tried a short test file using the Spanish table. All the accents, exclamation and interrogation marks looked correct. I did notice, though, that even in Grade One, italic strings were straddled by dropped "i" and periods translated to dot 3. Here in the UK we wouldn't use that system to transcribe Spanish textbooks for English students. Is it the same for you over there? And have I answered my own question? But if so, what's the use of DBT if you have to deal with every accent and question mark yourself?

Hello,

Does anybody know where I could get some cheat sheets for transcribing Spanish in Braille?
Thanks,
Kristina
