Hi all,
I'm working for Library for the Visually Impaired in Finland and the problem
that Nadine mentioned is very familiar to us, too. Very often we have in our
mainly Finnish documents other languages as well. And the language table in
Duxbury allows us to use only a few characters that don't exist in Finnish.
Nadine, if you need to use Finnish in an English document, there are only three
characters you need to worry about: ä, ö and å. All other letters are the same
as in English. The letter ä is dots 3-4-5, ö is dots 2-4-6 and å is dots 1-6. I
don't know what characters these would represent in English Braille, but you
could just search-replace them with the corresponding character in your
document. Finnish Braille is always uncontracted, so you should mark the
sections in Finnish uncontracted before translating to Braille.
The possible differences in punctuation marks in different languaes we solve by
using the same punctuation marks through the document, namely the Finnish
punctuation, when the document is mainly in Finnish.

Subject: [duxuser] Changing translation tables in the same document
Hi all,
I've not done language transcription before and am wondering how to
incorporate Finnish and English in the same document, so that the accented
letters are translated like they should be in Finnish.
I hope this makes sense.
Cheers and thanks all,
Nadine
