Just a suggestion to speed things up for you

If you are Using the Braille Template, in Word

Why don't you start by producing the Word document in a table:

Column 1: Word 

Column 2: Meaning

 

You can then highlight Column 1 and set to Spanish, leave Column 2 English,
or vice versa

Following this, convert table to text with a colon as the separator

Voila: Spanish and English with minimum fuss

Occasional words in the meaning section, will have to be changed manually.

Hello list, I an translating a book, which is basically a Spanish to English
and a English to Spanish dictionary on medical, legal, and slang terms. In
the past I would just highlight the Spanish words and apply the Spanish
style. It will not be feasible to do so in this book, as it is 300 pages
long. So my question is, if I apply the Spanish style to the whole document
will the English text be converted to Grade 1 braille? 

 

Thanks in advance,
