Reply To: Contractions in Author’s List (text in Spanish)
This book is NOT entirely in Spanish. The publishing and copyright information and information about the authors are all in English. It appears that the title of the book itself is also given in English. The rule in the NBA Interim Manual for Foreign Language Braille Trasncribing is very clear on this. See Section 2.2 Title pages. It states that if the title is given in the foreign language, it is brailled in that language with the accented letter symbols and no contracations. All the English, however, is contracted. If the book was produced by an English language or domestic publisher, the English publishing information is contracted. If the book was produced by a foreign publisher, ONLY the information pertaining to the publisher, i.e., city of publication, names of authors, etc are in the foreign language, using accented letters and uncontracted braille. Contracted braille is used for all other information on the title page.
Check the publisher.
Hope this helps. Consider sending a scan of the complete print title page and copyright information to clarify. It makes it easier if I can see what is being discussed.
