I need to learn French grade II braille. I recently borrowed the "methode de stenographie" produced by the Association Valentin Hauy. This undoubtedly contains the information I need. The drawback is that it's written in grade II braille. Now I do inverse problems for a living but this one's a bit hard! One method I'd proposed to learn gradually was to take something like the contraction table supplied with nfbtrans for english then learn all the rules of a particular type. The advantage is you can practice by producing a kind of grade I.3 that conforms to this partial rule-set. I see rule types pertaining to French in the table but I haven't seen a French table. Someone went looking for one a few months ago but I didn't see an answer on the list, probably meaning it doesn't exist. I'd love to be proved wrong though. I also tried contacting the maintainer but the address I had was wrong. Does anyone have such a table or equivalent rule-set for another translator that runs under Linux? Any other pointers to resources for learning this? regards Peter _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
