Dear Bro. Martin, We are actually approaching this project initially with little technical know how. The vision that the LORD put in our heart is more to make the Bible & Bible referencing tools in digital form available to the Myanmar and all her major tribes.
We do not have at this moment has people on our team that are highly skilled for Computer programming. I think we will build upon the software what Sword Project has written. However, we will concentrate to put in the content in Burmese & the translation aspects. At this moment, we are just working on Window OS platform (Sword for windows). We are keen to translate the software content if you can guide us through step by step technically. Our aim is to eventually have all icons & instructions of Sword for Windows in indigenous Myanmar languages. As for extension of the software, it may happen in the phase two of our Project when God send more technical specialist our way. As for now, we will appreciate frequent correspondences for technical guidance along the process. Thank You. In Christ, Sis.
