> If you have not already done so, talk with your division for vocational rehabilitation. If you do not have the training already written into your individualized plan for employment (IPE) do so. DVR, or the agency that provides services to blind adults frequently funds such training. If they say then won't, talk with your state's NFB president.

>>
>>
>> At its face-to-face meeting in May, the Braille Authority of North
>> America (BANA) approved a new publication, Provisional Guidance for
>> Transcribing Foreign Language Materials in UEB. This publication is
>> now available on the BANA website at
>> <http://mandrillapp.com/track/click/30489975/www.brailleauthority.org?p=eyJzIjoiV3MybDYySlpFWEZ0Yi11LXB5R3JCVWhIMzdVIiwidiI6MSwicCI6IntcInVcIjozMDQ4OTk3NSxcInZcIjoxLFwidXJsXCI6XCJodHRwOlxcXC9cXFwvd3d3LmJyYWlsbGVhdXRob3JpdHkub3JnXFxcL2ZvcmVpZ24tbGFuZ3VhZ2VcXFwvaW5kZXguaHRtbFwiLFwiaWRcIjpcIjFiZjhkN2RjYWM0OTRmM2VhMmMxMjYyMWFmZjhkZjViXCIsXCJ1cmxfaWRzXCI6W1wiYmE2MDJiZDExYWI5OTg1M2U2ZjdhOTQwNmUwNzFkNTA5MDM3Yzg4ZlwiXX0ifQ>http://www.brailleauthority.org/foreign-language/index.html.

>>
>> The rules of Unified English Braille (UEB) allow a range of
>> approaches for transcribing foreign language text. These methods
>> result in braille that is appropriate for a variety of types of
>> texts as well as for different groups of readers. Full details are
>> given in Rules of Unified English Braille 2013, Sections 13 and 14.
>>
>> The provisional guidelines for foreign language describe four
>> general methods for foreign language transcription, which should be
>> suitable to cover the majority of cases. The publication describes
>> each of these methods and indicates the circumstances for which each
>> is most appropriate. Method 1 and Method 3 in particular are
>> recommended for particular situations.
>>
>> The examples and some of the language used in this document are from
>> the publication by the United Kingdom Association for Accessible
>> Formats (UKAAF), "Transcribing Foreign Language Material in UEB,"
>> and are used with permission.
>>
>> BANA welcomes feedback from users of the methods described in this
>> publication.
