You are seeing this page since the DBT Template you selected is Bengali (Bangladeshi) - basic.
When you open (import) a file into Duxbury DBT, you have an opportunity to select a DBT Template. If you select a default Template, then you do not have to select a Template each time you open a file. Once you highlight the name of a DBT Template, you can click on the button that says Select Template as Default.
This is a basic DBT Template. Click here for more information about Basic Templates
This DBT Template is designed to produce material written in the Bengali language.

The Bengali (Bangla) language has multiple DBT Templates.
Here is the list:
Bangladesh has published a guide book on braille. The first template matches these translation rules. The next two give the preferred translation used in India. The difference between these two tables is just the braille math code. Bengali (Indian) - Basic with Nemeth uses Nemeth Code for technical notation while Bengali (Indian) - Basic uses UEB for technical notation.
In Bangladesh, non-Unicode fonts are common. DBT has been modified to import text what has been encoded in the MJ Suttony font.
This language is usually produced in uncontracted braille. This means that words in the text are produced in braille on a one-for-one basis. One braille character for each inkprint symbol. Some inkprint punctuation may require more than one braille character. Showing upper case, emphasis, or numbers will add braille characters to the character count. But there are no abbreviations or contractions. If you have questions about how braille is produced, please contact a member of your local braille authority.
This language is written in a script other than the Roman alphabet. This may result in problems when importing files into DBT. Your best bet is to import files from Microsoft Word or Open Office that are written in a Unicode font. You can contact support at Duxbury Systems if you have a file which does not import properly into DBT. Please send the file which does not import (the original inkprint file), not a screen shot of DBT.
