[sword-devel] Adding another Bible version

[Allen Johnson]

Thanks for writing.


  1.  Yes, permission is granted as we want to distribute the text in as many ways possible.



  1.  We are happy to provide a working file but:


     *   Forgive my ignorance but I do the layout in InDesign. Previously, I have exported as a text file for others to develop the digital modules for E-sword, online bible, and Bible Analyzer. I currently do not see any of the formats mentioned in my export or save as options. I will do some research but thought you might already know what steps I would need to take.



     *   We are actually in the middle of further revision work, to be completed in March or April. Perhaps it would be best to wait for the updated file, rather than using the current 2019 edition and then having to update it later or being “stuck” with an “older” edition while other programs hopefully update theirs.


I look forward to your feedback on these matters. Thanks, and God bless.

Allen Johnson
Director

Hello David and all,

To add the Valera 1602 Purificada to the Sword project would require (1) permission, and (2) digital files in an acceptable format (OSIS, USFM, USX, or USFX).
It looks like the permission granted in https://www.valera1602.org/_files/ugd/804ef4_18fd4564ee2340f0ba4d3d661cef36d2.pdf is functionally equivalent to a CC-BY-ND-NC license, so the permission part is handled.

Whoever reads info at valera1602.org<mailto:info at valera1602.org> email: do you have some digital files of this Bible translation in USFM, USX, OSIS, or something easy to convert to one of those formats? If so, could we please have a copy so that we can make it available to users of the Sword Project family of apps, including AndBible?

Thanks!

Hello,

 I was wondering if you all can add a Spanish Bible version called Reina Valera Purificada 1602? It's a Spanish Bible created to read more like to the king James version. I use the "and Bible" app and they said to ask you all. Thank you
