THE BRAILLE TRANSLATION PROGRA M OF MUNSTER UNIVERSIT Y by Bernd Eickenscheid t Let ms first give a rough summary of the German Grade 2 system . In this I can be very brief with those kinds o f contractions and rules that exist in Braille Grade 2 for every language, but it might be useful to give some details of th e typical German problems . The contractions in German Grade 2 can be grouped into seven classes : I) For simplicity of speaking let us say that the ordinary letters are contractions, too . 2) Letter contractions, such as " in", "II", are represented by one Braille sign . 3) Prefixes, such as "ex", "pro", etc ., are represented by one Braille sign if they appear at the beginning of a word . 4) Suffixes, such as " nis " , " ung" (cf . English " ness " resp . " ing " ), are represented by one sign . Other suffixes, suc h as "ation", "ativ", are represented by dot 5 plus one sign . 5) So-called "two-forms word-contractions'", such as "dt" for "demokrat", words, and most of them also in compound words .
