Sue,
You are correct about the apostrophe not being used between CD and the letter s
for making it plural. There's a similar example on page L15 of the BANA Braille
Codes Update 2007. As Susan stated, you are getting the correct translation.
If the print copy read CD's, then you would put in the dot 3 for an apostrophe
between the termination sign and the letter s. Then it would come up as: dot 6,
dot 6, CD, dot 6, dot 3, dot 3, letter s.

Sue,
You are getting the correct translation for CDs. Dots 6, 3 is the termination
sign, indicating the end of capitalization.

Good morning, All. Does anyone know how I should Braille out "CDs", as in
plural of CD? It is coming up in my text as dot 6, dot 6, CD, dot 6, dot 3
letter s. I seem to remember reading somewhere that the apostrophe is not used
between the end of a word and an "s" which makes the word plural. I'm still in
the process of learning the finer points of Braille, so I'd appreciate
someone's advice on this.
Many thanks for whatever you can do,
