David H is correct that David Instone Brewer has worked on this kind of thing. I won’t attempt to characterise how things stand at present, nor the approach he has adopted, since I may be out of date, and may end up misrepresenting things. I did notice this thread, though, and have drawn it to his attention, so I imagine he’ll be in touch (he’s not answering my emails currently so I assume he may be out for the day).

The WIP is in a shared folder in my Box account. The pre-&-postprocessing uses bespoke TextPipe filters. But there’s one more gain in the worksheet WPL environment. Providing the WPL worksheet includes a column with line numbers, the text can be sorted on the Word column. This facilitated adding Strong’s to multiple instances of the same Spanish word (ignoring context). The original textual order can be restored by a sort on the line numbers column. Much more detail is involved in how (eg) punctuation is dealt with and preserved. Even so, the trial run on 2JN was a success and Vince has since done MAT 1-11 or more when I last looked at the progress. Aside: The same environment also facilitated adding markup for \wj_...\wj* Best regards, David Sent from ProtonMail Mobile On Sat, Apr 13, 2019 at 13:16, ref...@gmx.net <mailto:ref...@gmx.net> <ref...@gmx.net <mailto:ref...@gmx.net> > wrote: I have been thinking about this for years but not done much yet. I think there are a bunch of steps which could make this a machine driven process 1) use verse,mapping from KJV or other already tagged texts (Synodal) and drop on each verse the relevant numbers 2) use names of places and people to tag those first 3) use dictionaries to align further 4) check by hand, but use any realignment to further inform not yet checked verses Sent from my mobile.

Would it be possible to automatically map Strongs numbers to translations that do not come with Strongs support? The approach would be like this: - Take a translation that comes with Strongs numbers - Map each word (and Strongs number) to a corresponding word in the target translation, by using a regular dictionary There may be some validation / manual checking needed when there is not a clear match between a word in the source translation and the target translation. Furthermore, this would probably only work with pairs of translations that are both aiming to be literal. In that case the order of words would be very similar and would increase chances of mapping words/Strongs correctly. What do you think? I'd be very happy to see Strongs mapped to German translations specifically. But it could technically even work for English/English translation mapping. Have a nice weekend!
