<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hi,<br>Sorry for posting a lot these days :)<br>I just do many searches, readings and experiments on CrossWire Programs and modules .<br><br>I found that i can't search in the SVD bible since all words are shaped while i write not shaped search words<br>For example searching for "يسوع" is not equal "يَسُوعَ"<br>يَسُوعَ = يسوع = Jesus<br><br>Regular users search with normal not shaped words but they will never get results <br><br>This problem exist in many bible softwares and non-crosswire softwares<br>Problem found in Xiphos and Bible Time<br>And Bible ignore shaping and search normally <br><br>The permanent solution is to make search indexes ignore all Arabic shapes<br>The simple and fast solution is to make another not shaped SVD Version<br><br>Currently I think in using Mod2Osis to extract the OSIS source text then use Any program that can Remove all Arabic shapes then Package it again using OSIS2Mod<br><br>Any suggestion for programs that can remove the shaping are welcomed .<br>Also any volunteer to do the whole job will be a hero :)<br><br>I've found this XML text, but don't know its origin is it SVD or other translation I don't know, So i prefer using the above method to convert the SVD <br>http://www.churchsw.org/repository/Bibles/Arabic/Arabic%20Bible.xml<br><br>BTW: I was able to convert one of e-sword bibles to be a sword module (its a not shaped version of SVD) just trying to search for a more accurate source as i don't know the origin of this module, I use it for years but not sure about its accuracy, Also i hope to include the Deuterocanonical Texts too <br><br>Will send any new ideas or files in my replies<br>Best Regards,<br>Pola Ashraf<br> </div></body>
