[sword-devel] French Bible Segond 1910 with Strong's number

Dear all,

I am a member of a small group of French people working on French Bible 
translations and Strong's numbers. Since years, we worked on affecting 
Strong's numbers (OT+NT) and French lemmas in about 10 French Bible 
versions. Originally a person worked in Excel years ago, we now migrated 
to XML and use a website with backend to update affectations. Our work 
is "multi translation". For public domain versions, we freely give the 
text with Strong's numbers. We only request a mention about our 
association with a link to our website (https://concordance.bible/). I 
already submitted French Darby version with Strong's numbers in 
Crosswire (see FreJND sword module).

For *Segond 1910*, the text is in public domain. I used mod2imp to get 
the text from the FreSegond (Crosswire) module months ago. The only 
changes we made are about versification. Indeed all our texts use the 
same versification (based on WLC, for OT = German in sword), so the text 
matches the original (hebrew WLC or greek MT/WH) one and we can easily 
compare translations.

In the past, the *FreLSG* module had Strong's numbers. If I am correct 
(see discussion "Strong numbers for Louis Segond" in 2013/07), we do not 
have the authorization (but still available in STEP) so this module has 
been removed or replaced by *FreSegond* module (renamed ?).

The *fraLSG1910eb* (*F10*) module is a more recent one, available in 
e-bible repo with headings, WoC and Strong's numbers. It seems to be a 
work in progress for Strong's numbers. They are not available for all 
books. I compare Strong's numbers affectations for the first verses of 
Genesis 1 (see attached screenshot) but there are errors in this module. 
On the left this module, on the right our data 
(https://concordance.bible/Sg1910/Gen/1/).

*So I contact all of you (especially actual maintainers of Segond 1910 
modules and French users) what would be the best way of giving our 
Strong's numbers for Segond 1910 in a sword module.* I don't know who is 
concerned or interested that's why I send to the mailing list.

As there is already many existing Segond 1910 sword module, it guess it 
would not be a good idea of creating a new one. On one side, as our text 
is based from FreSegond module, it might be a good idea of updating this 
module with Strong's numbers (the only difference is versification). On 
the other hand, the fraLSG1910eb module offers Strong's numbers but our 
data seems more accurate and complete, so it could be interesting of 
updating this module. In any case, it would be important to submit 
updates regularly for Strong's numbers.

Regards in Christ
