Let me explain my actual use case.

After doing a module search I'm generating a bar chart that visualizes search results per bible book. It looks like this at the moment:

In that bar chart I'm using the book abbreviations as labels on the x-axis of the chart. I'm simply using the abbreviations, because the full book names would take up too much vertical screen space in this particular case.

That's why I was asking for a direct method for translating the Abbrev. strings, since I don't need the abbreviations for individual verses (then the VerseKey based approach would totally make sense), but in this case I simply need to generate an array with all the book names (abbreviations) to use as labels for the x-axis of the chart.)

I can work with the existing API, but for this particular use case it's certainly a bit odd (from an object-oriented standpoint), because I'm not dealing with individual verses in this case.

Best regards,
Tobias
