Depending on your version, you could create a new Template where the "initial" Style's beginning Code includes [g2l]. Then anything you translate using that Templat will be locked to Grade 2, even if a switch to Grade 1 Code is in the document.

Sometimes when I've translated a document into contracted braille, a part of it will appear in uncontracted braille. Is there anyway to ensure that doesn't happen? Thanks in advance for any feedback.
