[sword-devel] Myanmar Bible Translation

[Levi Lim]

Dear Bro. Martin,

We are actually approaching this project initially with little technical
know how. The vision that the LORD put in our heart is more to make the
Bible & Bible referencing tools in digital form available to the Myanmar and
all her major tribes.

We do not have at this moment has people on our team that are highly skilled
for Computer programming. I think we will build upon the software what Sword
Project has written. However, we will concentrate to put in the content in
Burmese & the translation aspects. At this moment, we are just working on
Window OS platform (Sword for windows).

We are keen to translate the software content if you can guide us through
step by step technically. Our aim is to eventually have all icons &
instructions of Sword for Windows in indigenous Myanmar languages. As for
extension of  the software, it may happen in the phase two of our Project
when God send more technical specialist our way. As for now, we will
appreciate frequent correspondences for technical guidance along the
process.

Thank You.

In Christ,
Sis. Levi Sap Nei Thang Lim
