[sword-devel] How to get translated book abbreviations with LocaleMgr?

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Right, so, it's going to be different per module, so I would do something like:

VerseKey *vk = (VerseKey *)currentBible->getKey();

for ((*vk) = TOP; !vk->popError(); vk->setBook(vk->getBook() + 1)) {
  cout << vk->getBookAbbrev();
}
