This would be for people whose first language is Spanish. If I tried to do
this myself, how would I know if the headings were right since I dont speak
the language? What about other things like page numbering and such?

Hi Londa,
I can only speak from experience here in the UK, where UEB is the standard.
When you say native speakers, what I guess we really need to know is if
they are Native Spanish braille readers. If they are familiar with the
braille produced in Spain, then you can begin with a Spanish Template.
In the example of a word such as Ándale, the upper case letter A acute is
dot 6 followed by dots 1,2,3,5,6
If not, I suspect you would have to use DBTs Spanish Style having begun
with a UEB Template.
If you do, then the above would be dot 6 followed by 1,2,6 letter a.
Either way, so long as the text is accurate, you should be OK.
BTW, the word basically means get going.
George

Subject: [duxuser] Spanish Braille?
Hi All,
I am either looking for someone who can do this or for pointers if its
something I can do myself. I have had two requests in the last two days for
Spanish Braille. This would be Braille for native speakers not textbooks. If
there is a way that I can do this reliably with Duxbury and without actually
knowing Spanish very well, let me know. If not, contact me at the email
address in my signature.
