[sword-devel] Module upload: UrduGeo

[David Haslam]

Looking at the text of the *UrduGeo* module, which uses the *Arabic* writing
system, I was surprised to discover that there are four *Devanagari*
characters in the module.

U+0924	त	1	DEVANAGARI LETTER TA
U+092C	ब	1	DEVANAGARI LETTER BA
U+0932	ल	1	DEVANAGARI LETTER LA
U+0942	ू	1	DEVANAGARI VOWEL SIGN UU

The word *तूबल* appears in the text of this verse!

Jeremiah 47:5: غزہ بیٹی ماتم کے عالم میں اپنا سر منڈوائے گی، اسقلون شہر
तूबलمسمار ہو جائے گا۔ اے میدانی علاقے کے بچے ہوئے لوگو، تم کب تک اپنی جلد کو
زخمی کرتے رہو گے؟

This might indicate that the translation is edited in Devanagari, and that
the Arabic script edition is made by means of a conversion process.

i.e. At this sole location, the process stumbles maybe due to an exception
for the conversion algorithm.

If you are in contact with the publisher of the source text, this is
something that perhaps ought to be reported to them. 

btw. The handling of the 74 verse ranges has not been adequately
implemented.

Where verse ranges exist, it was done by a hyphen and digits in the verse
text rather in proper OSIS XML.

There is room for improvement here.

Best regards,

David
