Hi Michael,<div><br></div><div>The files look good to me (but I can't read Hebrew). I was sent a <a href="http://www.ep3project.info/downloads/ConvertCodes.zip">tool</a> that maps UTF-8 to properties files and that seems to have done a good job on BibleNames.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I am wondering if there will be rtl bidi issues with Hebrew and already I can see that the combination of Hebrew book names with chapter and verse causes the numbers to be reversed in the page title. If that is the only problem then I will manually reverse the numbers. I plan to do a build later today and let you take a look. Then, we can see what needs fixing or removing.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I think I will need to disable Hebrew support for Android versions before 2.2 because that is when Hebrew fonts were introduced. Do you have Android 2.2 on your mobile? Do you know if there were any special Android versions for Israeli users containing Hebrew fonts before android 2.2?</div>

<div style="direction:ltr">I hope you don't feel I am bombarding
you but I suddenly realised you may be able to help with a need
for abbreviated bible book names in the Hebrew language. JSword
provides, among many other things, book names in local languages
and And Bible makes a greater use of abbreviated book names in
the next release. Unfortunately some languages do not have the
abbreviated book names available in JSword and Hebrew is one of
the languages without abbreviations.</div>

<div style="direction:ltr">If you have time it would help a lot
if you could fill in the *.Short lines in this <a href="https://crosswire.org/svn/jsword/trunk/jsword/src/main/resources/org/crosswire/jsword/versification/BibleNames_he.properties" target="_blank">Hebrew
properties</a> file. You can see an English version for
comparison <a href="https://crosswire.org/svn/jsword/trunk/jsword/src/main/resources/org/crosswire/jsword/versification/BibleNames.properties" target="_blank">here</a>.
I don't know if you are familiar with the escape codes used in
Java properties files. If not you can ask or I did start
putting together a <a href="http://code.google.com/p/and-bible/wiki/UserInterfaceTranslation" target="_blank">ui
translation wiki page</a> and you will see a reference to this
JSword properties file at the end. Ideally abbreviated names
will be between 3 and 5 characters long with no spaces or full
stops.</div>

<div style="direction:ltr" bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000"> <big> Hello List<br>
<br>
My name is Michael and I'm a software developer from
Israel. I wrote a basic version of android bible app in
the past (as well as other bible software: PHP, JS,
python, maemo version, etc.), but that was before I
discovered And Bible. I started to use it 3 weeks ago,
and it's very nice, and so I use it as primary bible
app.</big> <big><br>
<br>
I would like to participate the dev team, if that's fine
with you. I'm not experienced with android development
too much, but I know a little, and I have some knowledge
about UI design. I also can help in Hebrew translation
and other Hebrew-related issues. I have Motorola
Milestone (AKA Droid in the states) with 2.1, and a
chinese device called SmartQ V5 which has android 2.1.</big>
<big><br>
I also have a web server, so I can offer forums,
bug-reports system or other web systems that might be
useful for the project.<br>
<br>
BUG report:</big> <big><br>
A serious bug that started from v 0.14 and still on
0.15, is about hebrew text direction. As you probably
know, Hebrew is written from right to left, AKA RTL, and
also right aligned as default. Versions before 0.14 were
in RTL direction and right aligned, but from 0.14 the
text is left aligned (I can't determinate if it's RTL or
LTR). My guess is that the text size change that was
added, is responsible for that, in some way. BTW, have
you considered using pinch-to-zoom? I used it in my app,
and it's was very comfortable.<br>
