Martin</big></big></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;"><big><big>Please
DO NOT disable Hebrew support for versions before 2.2. Some
models were sold in Israel before the 2.2 (from 1.6) and had
local support for Hebrew installed by Israeli operators. Even
my Milestone has 2.1. Some other installed private builds like
cyanogen. All these people have 2.1, 2.0 or 1.6 devices with
Hebrew fonts (some even Hebrew UI) and should not have any
problem using Hebrew software.</big></big></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;"><big><span
style="font-size: 21px;">You can definitely add </span><big>a
disclaimer or warning message, but please don't disable the
support completely.</big></big></p>

style="font-size: 21px;">You are invited to send me new builds,
and I'll be glad to check them and give you feedback.<br>

<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>

<div style="direction: ltr;">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 style="direction: ltr;"><br>

<div style="direction: ltr;">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;"><br>
</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 moz-do-not-send="true"
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
moz-do-not-send="true"
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
moz-do-not-send="true"
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>

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>

to strengthen your hands with that
important work.<br>
