Multiple Templates for Spanish

The Spanish language has multiple DBT Templates.

Here is the list:

Virtually all Spanish braille is produced without contractions. For this purpose, choose Espanol sin Contracciones

The other two DBT templates are rarely used. Use Espanol con Contracciones for fully contracted braille. Use Espanol Reducida for partially contracted braille.

Uncontracted Braille

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 letter. Some inkprint punctuation may require more than one braille character. Indicating upper case, emphasis, or numbers also adds braille characters to the character count. However, the braille contains no abbreviations or contractions. If you have questions about producing correct braille, please contact a member of your local braille authority.

Default Braille Mathematics Code

The default math braille code for this Template is Spanish/Portuguese.

To use this translator for technical material, the math material needs to be enclosed in the DBT style, math. This markup is added automatically when importing LaTeX files and some other formats.
