Hello,<br>
I'm starting a new project at <a href="http://sourceforge.net">sourceforge.net</a>, titled "Biblic
Translation Platform". We will be 4 developers. I would like to know if
we could make it part of the crosswire project.<br>
<br>
Some details about the Biblic Translation Platform (codename "biblic").<br>
Platform: OS indipendent<br>
Programming langs: Perl, C++, Java, JavaScript, PHP<br>
User interface: wxWidgets, web<br>
Database, MySQL, ODBC<br>
Description:<br>
Biblic Translation Platform (BTP) is a translation software with many
utilities, which aid translating from Hebrew and Aramaic. It is
specifically targeted to biblic and jewish mystical sources.<br>
<br>
Tools will include: conversion utilities for Hebrew and Aramaic
(addressing charset issues, etc.), database backup tools for
right-to-left languages, web Hebrew-English-Hebrew dictionary (later
Hebrew-Italian-Hebrew also), web Aramaic-English-Aramaic dictionary
(later Aramaic-English-Aramaic also), realtime Hebrew translator
(standalone and web), realtime Aramaic translator (standalone and web),
Hebrew bible translation memory for CAT tools, misc tools for
developers, etc.<br>
<br>
We believe that after the Brown-Driver-Briggs Lexicon, this project
will be the next great innovation in the biblic field. It will provide
invaluable tools both to scholars and translators.<br>
Putting online our dictionary (which currently is for modern Hebrew),
users will be able to enhance it, and slowly train it with biblic
Hebrew. More people will use it, and more the realtime translator
will become effective.<br>
<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
