[sword-devel] [Fwd: Crosswire Bible Society Request (01/28/08)]

[peter]

The immediate place for such a link would be in the module config file.

This would result in anyone looking at the info about the Vietnamese
Module getting the link to the Vietnamese Bible Society. The module
config file is used as info on the website.

http://www.crosswire.org/sword/modules/ModInfo.jsp?modName=Afr1953

It is normally done so with a larger number of modules.

Another place could be the BD pages - and this something you would need
to talk with DM about. BD is now increasingly widely translated and it
might well make sense to have pages in different languages for it.

Like - "this is BD, this is how you use in in Vietnamese and this is
where we kindly got our material from ->link". Same in Farsi, German,
Chinese.
