Hello Allen,

One slight correction. Looking again at the RTF and TXT files, I think the RTF file would be better to start with, because I can preserve the italics. Since the italics are significant (KJV-style), I think that is worth the little bit of extra work for me. So please send the NT RTF file. Thanks!

  1.  Please use what’s in the pdf file as the other document gives permission to change the file and we do not want the text changed.
OK, I'll use your permission statement. I'm pretty sure the CC-BY-NC-ND license allows FORMAT changes but not TEXT changes. Format changes are what I plan to do, but I will keep the Bible text exactly the same as your source.

  1.  Will rtf or txt work? I already have those available. I attached the OT files. Let me know if that works and I will send the NT files. If not, I can export html files.

Both can work. The txt file you sent is the easiest for me to work with, BUT it loses the italics. Please send the NT RTF file.

After that, whenever you have a revision ready, if you could send it in the same text format, that would be great!

Thanks!

Thanks for writing.

  1.  Yes, permission is granted as we want to distribute the text in as many ways possible.
Thank you very much! Would it be OK to standardize the license text using the closest matching Creative Commons license? See https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.es and https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.en for the wording. I think this matches your intent, but with very well-thought-out legal wording. (If not, we could just copy what you wrote in your PDF file.)

  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.
If you mean that the master copy, or most authoritative text is in InDesign, then you can simply send me the InDesign file and/or an HTML export of that file. I have a copy of InDesign, and can experiment with the export options to get something close enough that I can write a custom script to convert to the format I really need. The large file can go directly to just me at kahunapule at eBible.org<mailto:kahunapule at eBible.org>, or if it is too large to attach, share it with Google Drive, Dropbox, or similar service. We don't need to clutter the Sword Developer's mailing list with a large file.

     *   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.

Since my strategy is to use a script to convert, with little manual labor, and lower chances of making mistakes, running an updated copy through the same script would be little additional work. So it may be best to start with what you have, then run your update through the same script when it is ready. Just please remember to send me the update when it is ready, as I might not think to ask for it, then. (I maintain well over a thousand Bible modules.)

I look forward to providing our Spanish-speaking readers with another good Bible translation option.

Any questions?

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
