<div dir="ltr">Hi Matej, <br><br>There is an OSIS2USFM python script on github, but a quick glance suggests it is built for a specific purpose and did not try to understand the complete OSIS or USFM specifications. However, If you do it yourself, that might be a place to start. <br><br>OSIS and USFM have similar purposes, but not all things possible in OSIS can be described well in USFM, and there are things generally included in USFM projects that OSIS has no real specification to cover. <br><br>I do this sort of thing and I have a crazy method I use to accomplish the conversion, but it isn't something I can say here is a converter script ... It involves jedit macros I generate per project, then a spreadsheet program. <br><br>If you need a one time conversion, I'd be happy to look at your OSIS, then suggest something (either a completed SFM package or describe the what needs to happen in the OSIS before that's easy/possible.) If you are looking to be able to manage across the layers. <br><br>When undergoing these kinds of conversions, our ministry rule is that 2 people use 2 wildly varying methods indpendently, then we look at the resulting USFM until it matches exactly. You are far less likely to have spaces, words, sections go missing when you do the conversion twice by different methods and check the conversions against each other. <br><br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Jun 11, 2016 at 2:18 PM, Matěj Cepl <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mcepl@cepl.eu" target="_blank">mcepl@cepl.eu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi,<br>
<br>
I know it is probably mildly heretical to ask here, but does<br>
anybody know about a tool to covert OSIS formatted Bible into<br>
USFM? I would like to propose Paratext as a new tool for<br>
translating Bible instead of the home-made-never-finished<br>
craziness translators of CzeCSP use now, and I have OSIS<br>
formatted Bible, but I would need all this converted to USFM. Is<br>
there any help for me, or do I have to get down and dirty to<br>
write some conversion script myself?<br>
<br>
Blessings,<br>
