Thanks, What encoding are you using, and how are you editing the files? Sorry, I should have explained but the files must have the unicode text stored in UTF8 (unfortunately there is more than one way to store unicode :/ ). I don't know what your files have but I can't easily get Hebrew out of it.

You don't have to have abbreviations - you can just have Full book name=number As it says in the link I gave: # IMPORTANT: # # 1) There MUST be at least 1 abbreviation entry for each book name # comprised of a toupper (uppercase function) of the entire string # EXACTLY as you have translated it in the [Text] section. # # 2) The English abbreviation entries MUST remain in the locale. # The precidence entries may be tweeked, especially if you find them # interferring with your precidence entries, but the entire book name-- # as stated in the first requirement above, must remain for English book # names. I haven't looked at the code to see why this is, but (imho) I don't think it is a high priority to fix it. > Sorry guys for me bugging, but I really do want to make it work. no problem, I'd like to get this to work too :) > The Sword has a great potential. :) > The attached files are translated into Hebrew. > The Local if fully translated and the UI has to be rechecked, > but only after it would be fully supported. ok, Daniel _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel
