[sword-devel] The Digital Bible Library® ??? What do you think?

[Michael Johnson]

I contribute some Bible translations to the DBL. If there are any in there that were submitted by "eBible.org" with problems, please let me know, specifically, what the problems are to correct them. I also get Bible translations from the DBL when they are licensed for free distribution. However, if there is a better quality source than the DBL, I would use that, instead. Just being in the DBL doesn't necessarily make a text perfect, in spite of the many checks that are required before submitting them.

There is an old Czech Bible translation which I recently corrected the text encoding in, with the help of a volunteer who can read Czech, on the DBL at https://app.thedigitalbiblelibrary.org/entries/public_domain_entries?type=text . If you update from there, from eBible.org, or from what you already have makes no difference to me, as long as you pay attention to quality in providing God's Word to people in the languages they understand best.
