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.
