Hi David,
Well, we could consider having multiple "tradition" locale files. We do
have different "region" locale files. I guess a "tradition" locale file
could have a different full book name and preferred abbreviation from a
different tradition locale. Right now though, I'm trying to get at
least one tradition "Preferred Abbreviation" for each book so we can
build a select menu for a localized Bishop release. Thanks for the
suggestion,
Troy
