[jsword-devel] Best way of keying verses in a separate database

[Martin Denham]

Hi Chris,

I have no answers.  I am still using pre-av11n code in AB but the second
question you raised in your initial e-mail is troubling me: "is there a way
to translate from one versification to another".

A simple example scenario is a user reading a bible with one versification
wishing to view associated commentary having a different versification.  So
for example a Kazakh user reading Psalm 50 in a SynodalP bible wishing to
view MHC would be shown the wrong chapter if there is no mapping between
versifications because (I am told) most Psalms in SynodalP are offset by 1.

Sorry, I have no answers but hopefully somebody does.

btw I understand from DM that JSword av11n implementation was delayed a few
weeks by other unrelated issues, so DM is still working on it.

Martin
