[nabs-l] Information about Italian

[Patrick Molloy]

Minh,
If you have a BrailleNote, you can set the language setting to Italian
and then type like you would in English. Not knowing Italian, I don't
know which letters are accented or not, but if you set your computer
braille table to Italian and then set the computer braille to 8-dot,
you should have no problem with the accents.

For the book or books that you'll use, here's what I did with my
Spanish books freshman year. Have your disabilities office scan them,
then read them either on your computer or BrailleNote. Hope this
helps.
Patrick
