Bible translations for Central Asia generally follow the same versification scheme as the Russian Synodal Translation (RST), as is exemplified in the SWORD based Holy Bible program (MK) developed for the Institute of Bible Translation (IBT) for Russia/CIS. Moreover, most Slavic language translations (as used in Eastern Europe) follow the same versification scheme.
I would like to make a strong plea that the first set of alternate versifications to be bundled should include this scheme. This would demonstrate our support for the work of IBT, and show that we are moving in the direction of co-operation and collaboration in the work of bringing the Gospel to the region of Central Asia and other countries that were once part of the former Soviet Union and its hegemony. MK already supports both RST and KJV versifications (seamlessly) but is not easily scalable to more than two schemes. For further information about MK, see http://www.ibt.org.ru/english/bible/info_bible_en.htm#bibleprogram http://www.ibt.org.ru/english/bible/info_bible_en.htm#bibleprogram The MK source code is available on-line at the same site. -- David -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Alternate-Versification-tp23232476p23357306.html Sent from the SWORD Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
