Mary, there are some things you have to set on the BN besides just the
language table. First of all, the suggestions of making a txt file from the
Daisy version of the book is a good one. Once you've done that, you can open
the file. Then you want to switch to 6-dot braille rather than grade 2. You
can do this with a combination of two of the thumb-keys, but unfortunately I
don't know which because I have mine rearranged. Then you can go into the
options menu and hit b for braille, then go down to computer braille table.
You have to use dots 3-4 with space to switch between tables, you want to
choose Spanish computer braille.  Then, if you want to do writing in Spanish
you need to switch keyboard to 8-dot braille. If you need any more help with
this just ask and I'll see what I can do. It took me a little time to get
used to the weird way you have to do Spanish on the BN, but once you figure
it all out it works okay.
