[sword-devel] Mapping Strongs numbers to translations that do not come with Strongs support

[David Haslam]

This was done already by the Tyndale STEP team for adding Strong’s Numbers to the ESV.

They used bespoke software followed by manual adjustments.

Ask David Instone-Brewer for details.

Best regards,

David
