Hi,

Has there been any discussion on how to get newer/modern (copyrighted) bible translations into the "Sword ecosystem"? Users are of course more interested in modern/current translations than very old ones that do not reflect today's language anymore.

Of course this may require some licensing/payment system, but that shouldn't be a too big impediment, huh?

Do you guys know the digital bible library (http://thedigitalbiblelibrary.org). They provide access to all kinds of modern translations, but only to "Library Card Holders". I believe this is used by the "YouVersion Bible App" - which is extremely popular (but not open source ...). It's possible to "apply for a library card" for "qualified ministries". On their website it says: "Other organizations may apply for a library card through this website. Approved card holders gain access to the digital files through establishing license agreements with IP contributors."

Maybe there are other possibilities besides this "digital bible library"?

Best regards,
Tobias
