Hi Pratik, 

 

You're wonderful. 

 

The issue is apparently this: 

 

"just wanted to alert you to a problem I'm finding with the Spanish
books I'm seeing on bookshare.  When these books are converted to BRF
files, English grade 2 contractions should not be used.  A monolingual
Spanish speaker would not be able to read the current BRF versions of
books as these contractions are not used in Spanish."

 

I just need confirmation that these books are using English grade 2
contractions rather than Spanish grade 1, so we can correct the problem
and possibly reprocess the books. Or, that the books are fine and that
they're in Spanish Braille already. 

 

Any help you can provide would be great. 

 

Best,

Marissa

Hi Folks, 

 

I urgently need to get in touch with someone who reads Spanish Braille.
If you or someone else you know reads Spanish Braille, can you please
get in touch with me? 

 

Best,

Marissa
