Well, if that can be done mechanical I'm not going to spend time on it,
doing it manually.

The basis Dutch translation I'm using is neither from the Textus
Receptus, or the Majority Text, but a text between that two (it follows
the MT quite closely, only when the TR has some words that are not in
the MT, the TR is followed (for example: it does have the '3 heavenly
witnesses' text, that is missing in the MT). So I guess I'm going for
the MT

Is their in OSIS a standard way to define the translation of a word?

I'm going to contact him for it, thanks for the idea!
