Just to add a little to this conversation.
SWORD has a method VerseKey::getShortText() which should give you an
abbreviated verse reference.
Which currently returns:
[ReferenceSystem's Preferred Abbreviation for the Book] ch:vs"
This is always English.
The intent was to change this to:
_tr([ReferenceSystem's Preferred Abbreviation for the Book]) ch:vs"
which would allow a locales.d/ file to have [Text] entries for each of
these English abbreviations.
I'm not sure who added the locales.d/*_abbrevs.conf locales
