Hi, First I'd like to thank Sergio and DM Smith for their answer. I appreciated a lot the effort to digitize the Portuguese Bible 1911, I think its a very good project. I think also that it would be very good if we could distribute other more recent versions of the Bible in Portuguese. I think it's important because the Portuguese language changed a lot since 1911, mainly in Brazil. I was thinking about the version "A Bíblia Sagrada traduzida em português por João Ferreira de Almeida /revista e atualizada no Brasil/". It's one of the most used versions nowadays in Brazil. What about trying to get the permission to distribute this version also?
