so we have letters 1-26 in the english languages in braille. how about for non english languages? ie. french or german with additional letters like c with the comma thing underneath it or o with 2 dots over it. or how about chinese, japanese, thai, arabic etc?
Every language has its own Braille system. Look up DUXBURY - they do Braille in all languages.

I'm an ex unix systems administrator, ex high school math teacher, ex criminal defense lawyer. I'm looking for a career change...I like to write stories and sew cute little novelty items. I've studied German, French, Japanese, Gregg's shorthand and two other shorthand settings and have dabbled in Braille and American Sign Language. I love cats. I can draw, paint and sing pretty well and can play the guitar badly. I love to read thrillers - Dan Brown, Dean Koontz, Kyle Mills. Any career ideas spring to mind?
Well none of those things are really related. You seem to have good administration skills and leadership skills. Maybe you can try your hand at starting a small business.
Check them out. They're (mostly) all different (Spain and Austria have the same one.)
The Japanese one looks like braille.
The UK and US ones are just EVIL!!!!!!!!!!
And Spain and Austria couldn't have had it any easier!!! (Just find the box, tilt your head on its side and simply READ the 8 digit number).

EVER WONDER
Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?
Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed?
Why don't you ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?
Why is "abbreviated" such a long word?
*Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"?
Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dish washing liquid made with real lemons?

In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods:
On a Sears hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping. ( I have no other time to dry my hair).
On a bag of Frito's: ..You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside. (the shoplifter special?)
On a bar of Dial soap: "Directions: Use like regular soap." (and that would be how...?)
On some Swanson frozen dinners: "Serving suggestion: Defrost." ( But, it's "just" a suggestion).
On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom): "Do not turn upside down." (well... a bit late, huh?)
On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: "Product will be hot after heating." (...noooo... Really?)
On packaging for a Rowena iron: "Do not iron clothes on body." (but wouldn't this save me more time?)
On Boot's Children Cough Medicine: "Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication." (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those 5-year-olds with head-colds off those forklifts.)
On Nytol Sleep Aid: "Warning: May cause drowsiness." (and.. .I'm taking this because...?)
On most brands of Christmas lights: "For indoor or outdoor use only." (as opposed to... what?)
On a Japanese food processor: "Not to be used for the other use." (now, somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious.)
On Sunsbury's peanuts: "Warning: contains nuts." (talk about a news flash)
On an American Airlines packet of nuts: "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts." (Step 3: maybe, uh...fly Delta?)
On a child's superman costume: "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly." (I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one.)
On a Swedish chainsaw: "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands." (..was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)
If you think this is funny, repost it so someone else can get a laugh
lol its true! here's a star~

The peculiar challenges of Chinese Braille
It would seem that the title of your article is not correct; Chinese braille does not use the a 1-to-1 orthographic pinyin system. Although this article (http://acc6.its.brooklyn.cuny.edu/~phalsall/texts/chinlng2.html) says pinyin is used, this is flatly contradicted by the next two articles you link to (http://www.braille.ch/pschin-e.htm, http://www.languagehat.com/archives/000897.php), not directly in name but in description. As described both in the articles you linked to and in your own description, the system is actually "phonetic," with each onset and rime represented by its own character. That's not the characteristic of the pin-yin romanization, it's the characteristic of zhuyin fuhao.
