The encoding is currently Codepage 1252 (essentially Latin-1/ISO 8859-1 plus a couple of extra code points). This should change shortly to UTF-8, but maybe not before the next release. (I'm not clear exactly where the code stands at this moment.) > I also > see that there's no Croatian Bible text available for SWORD, but there is one > for BibleDataBase.

I've looked at the Croatian Bible a few times and recall some problems with it. BibleDatabase got their text from Unbound Bible and the problem was either that the data had a lot of errors or it was in a non-KJV versification, which we can't handle currently. But if you want to take a look at it, please give it a try. --Chris
