Hi all,

I'm trying to convert Czech Bible 21 (B21) to sword format.

When using tool 'vpl2mod' (sword 1.5.11) I'm getting a lot of warnings
like:

----
Not a valid KJV ref: Genesis 32:33
appending to ref: Genesis 32:32
Warning, overwriting verse: Genesis 32:32
Not a valid KJV ref: Exodus 7:26
----

The warnings are just that, warnings. This will result in a usable, but re-versified module.

To use any of the av11n support, you will have to use a more recent version of vpl2mod. vpl2mod from 1.6.0 should be out within hours. And vpl2mod from 1.6.0RC3 (which should be almost identical) is available from our FTP site:

http://crosswire.org/ftpmirror/pub/sword/utils/win32/utilities-1.6.0RC3.zip

It will also require a copy of icudt42.dll. I recommend the one at:

http://crosswire.org/ftpmirror/pub/sword/utils/win32/icudt42-big.zip

at first look it seems to me that B21 is using Leningrad versification.
(file canon_leningrad.h but there are missing items for new testament in
that file).

As Greg said, Leningrad is certainly not what you want. You'll probably want the Russian v11n (or whatever we call it), when that is released. I would like to work on adding it this week, but it definitely won't be released until 1.6.1.

Is it possible to convert vpl Bible format to sword module using
specific v11n versification? (in my case Leningrad versification)?

Or should I do it by hand?
( use vpl2mod with KJV versification, then mod2osis and then edit osis
by hand to correct the versification and then using osis2mod?)

Both vpl2mod and osis2mod support av11n, but using vpl2mod and exporting via mod2osis like this will result in very bad, unusable data.


If you want to help make the Russian v11n system, I would recommend sending your data (the module itself) to me at modu...@crosswire.org. Then I can analyze it along with the other Russian orthodox v11n texts I have.
