Hi Paula:
To translate a bunch of files do the following:
1. Go to the file manager.
2. Press t for translate.
3. Press e for export
4. You will be asked as to which folder you wish to export the files from.
5. On a bt you can press backspace if the file you wish to export is on
another drive.
6. Find the folder and press enter.
7. At the filename prompt press space and or backspace to move through the
list of files.
8. When you find a file you wish to export, press space with m to mark that
file. If you wish to unmark a file, press space with m again.
9. If you wish to mark all the files in that folder press enter with a
dropped g (dots 2-3-5-6 on a bt).
10. Press enter after you have selected the files you wish to translate.
11. You will also be asked as to which drive you wish to export and to which
folder and drive .
12. Next you will be asked as to which file type you wish to export. You
can press space with dots 3-4 to move through these.
Find the filetype and press enter.
When the operation is complete, you will be told how many files were
exported.

Subject: RE: [Braillenote] Translating bulk files
Thanks Blake and others. I must be missing something obvious. When I'm in a
document and save that way I see the choices for Word, Word Perfect, Text
etc. However in the translation option it only seems to have text to braille
or braille to text. If I translate the files to text they are KWT files so
still don't work on the PC. I also looked at forward and back translation
but in there they ask a heap of questions about paragraph boundaries and
things. Is there not a simple way to translate bulk files from braille to
Word or text to put on a USB drive and transfer to the computer for editing?
If this can be done through the translation options what steps do I need to
go through to obtain the desired outcome?
Cheers
Paula.

Dear Paula. I am a kiwi also. If you wish to transfer things
from the bn to the pc and back again, one option that can be
explored is this, translate it via the file manager to a . doc file. You
could then put that file on to a usb in a specific folder. She can then
read, and edit it, at her own disposal, and then transfer it back to the
braille note. If she wishes to convert this back to a . braille file, she
can do so quite easily. If you/her need conversion steps, refer to me or
the rest of the bn list. Cheers, Blake Ison.

Subject: [Braillenote] Translating bulk files
Hi
I am asking this on behalf of someone I am working with. Is
there a way to translate all files at once from Keyword to text or Word so
that they can be transferred in bulk to the computer?
I tend to transfer files individually when required, so just save each one
in the format I require before transferring. I am working with someone new
to braille though and she wants to transfer everything to her computer to
work on, then transfer the files back to the BrailleNote once they have been
edited. I had a look at translation options and importing and exporting,
plus I looked through the Users Guide, but I could not find out for definite
if there is a way to do what she wants.
Cheers
Paula.
