Official and Affiliated Module Repositories

2014-03-24T14:55:21Z

Mjdenham: /* Nepal Bible Society */

The Repository directory has to be specified for the Install Manager in [[Frontends:BibleCS|the SWORD Project for Windows]], which uses ftp access. Likewise for the other front-ends based on the SWORD API.

The Catalog & ZIP directories have to be specified for the [[DevTools:JSword|JSword]] based installer (e.g. as used for [[Frontends:BibleDesktop|Bible Desktop]]), which uses http access.

The 'Site Name' field is just a convenient name for managing/selecting repositories. Users may edit these without any loss of functionality, as long as they ensure that each is uniquely and appropriately named.

The '''Institute for Bible Translation''' provides a number of Bible translations in various languages of Central Asia and the CIS. Currently these include Adygei, Aghul, Avar, Buryat, Chuvash, Crimean Tatar, Gagauz (Latin & Cyrillic), Georgian, Karakalpak, Kazakh, Khakas, Kumyk, Kyrgyz (Arabic & Cyrillic), Ossetic, Tabasaran, Tajik (Gospels), Tatar, Turkmen (Latin & Cyrillic), Uzbek (Latin & Cyrillic). Alongside these translations are modules for English, Russian, Ukrainian and the original Bible languages (Hebrew & Greek). Further modules are in preparation. Several of the translations have linked dictionary modules.

'''Notes:'''
# The programmer has made his source code available under the name [http://code.google.com/p/xulsword/ xulsword]. Version 3.8 was released 2013-11-06.
# With the advent of [[Alternate Versification]] in SWORD, the MK program is fully [http://code.google.com/p/osis-converters/wiki/Compatibility compatible] with the SWORD API. All modules in the IBT repository are fully SWORD compatible, although their .conf files have some extra entries which apply only to xulsword, and their OSIS tags may have some subtype attributes which other SWORD front ends will ignore.
# The original languages module combines the Hebrew OT and Greek NT into a single module.

'''News:'''
* (2010-05-13) The Russian Synodal (1876) module was updated to xulsword (version 3.0) and released on 2010-03-14. This has cross references and Strong's tags. Also includes the Russian language MK program interface.

* (2011-10-25) A Russian Materials module is announced. This new module contains 5 Russian Bible translations, plus a large selection of Russian commentaries, dictionaries, books, and more.

* (2012-01-27) IBT are setting up a proper repository.

* (2012-02-17) The IBT repository is now online.

* (2013-01-15) The IBT repository is already in the CrossWire <tt>masterRepoList.conf</tt>.

=== Bond Slave Version ===
''This does not currently support access by non-JSword-based front-ends''.
Site name: BSV
Host: seedofthewoman.com
Catalog Directory: /BSV/sword/raw
Zip Directory: /BSV/sword/packages/rawzip

== Other Module Sources (Non-Repositories) ==

=== Institute for Scripture Research ===
The [http://www.messianic.co.za ISR] has a self-extracting ZIP of ''The Scriptures'' that can be installed locally. The module is encoded such that it can be used in The SWORD Project for Windows only (and no other front-end, including other front-ends running on Windows). Since it is a copyrighted work being offered for free, I'm not sure if improvements would be updated on their site.

=== Bible Vietnam ===
[http://www.biblevietnam.org The UBS Vietnam page] has several Vietnamese-language modules, including the UBS version of the Viet module, which incorporates minor corrections to the 1926 text made in 1998 by the UBS along with headings and cross-references.

=== Slovak ===
[http://www.kristus.sk/biblia/ kristus.sk] has the SSV translation available to download as a SWORD module called SvkPS. The published Catholic SSV translation contains deuterocanonical books, but this first module edition does not. One with [[Alternate Versification]] is in the pipeline.

The same web-page also has Slovak & Czech Bibles for download in other electronic editions, including Go Bible.

=== Gilak Media ===
[http://gilakmedia.com/en/software Windows Software for Gilaki Scripture] – this is a Farsi and Gilaki edition of the IBT MK Holy Bible software, with a xulsword module for the Gilaki Scriptures, currently the Gospel of John only, but with full audio. The Farsi Bible module is FarsiOPV version 1.0, adapted to suit xulsword. The Gilaki language is a Caspian language, and a member of the northwestern Iranian language branch, spoken in Iran's Gīlān Province.

=== Paite e-Holy Bible ===
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paite Paite] is spoken in parts of North East India, Burma & Bangladesh. The complete Paite e-Holy Bible version 3 (2009-10-15) is available from [http://zogam.com/documents/cat_view/954-bible-for-computer/915-paite-e-holy-bible Paite E-Holy Bible]. It is possible to display the Paite module in other SWORD front-end applications for Windows by copying the installed files to the SWORD path.<ref>Alternatively, without actually running the install setup, the EXE file may opened as an archive using (e.g.) [http://www.7-zip.org/ 7-Zip], and the PEH module may be extracted along with the file <tt>peh.conf</tt>.</ref><ref>Take care, as the setup file also included a copy of our KJV module (Version=2.3).</ref><ref>In Xiphos, the localized language name is displayed as '''Paite Chin'''.</ref>

'''News update:''' 2014-01-19 – Yesterday I had a message from Hlunboi Guite asking if & how CrossWire might distribute the Paite Bible module. [[User:David Haslam|David Haslam]] 03:28, 19 January 2014 (MST)

'''Note:'''
<references />

=== Tedim e-Holy Bible ===
There is a similar Bible application for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tedim Tedim Lai Siangtho] dialect, available from [http://zogam.com/documents/cat_view/954-bible-for-computer/955-tedim-e-holy-bible Tedim e-Holy Bible]. The same observations apply.

=== German ===
==== Volxbibel ====
[http://www.volxbibel.com/ Volxbibel] – A new German Bible translation in the language of the young generation. The translation is under the [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/de/deed.en_GB Creative Commons] license, so non-commercial use and distribution is allowed. A SWORD module called VLX3 has been created by [http://www.heidoc.net/ Jan Krohn], who has also built Go Bible applications for Java mobile phones. ''Contact Jan Krohn for further details''.

==== Offene Bibel ====
[http://www.offene-bibel.de/ Offene Bibel] is an independent new ecumenical CC German translation in two parts: a philological "study version" and a dynamic-equivalence "reading version" (see the [http://www.offene-bibel.de/wiki/index.php5?title=About_Offene_Bibel English About]). The translation is far from finished, but test SWORD modules with sample chapters have been created for both versions. They can be downloaded [http://www.offene-bibel.de/forum/sword_module here]. The creators will be happy to receive your feedback. Official modules are planned.

=== Word Of God team (India) ===
The following modules are being made available by the [http://www.wordofgod.in/ Word of God] team in India, under the leadership of Yesudas Solomon.
* Hindi Bible
* Hmar Bible
* Kannada (KJV) Bible
* Kannada (BSI) NT
* Koya NT
* Malayalam Bible
* Tamil (Common) Bible
* Tamil (OV) Bible
* Telugu Bible
Registration and login is required to download these modules. Some of those listed here are still underway. Other languages expected to follow.

Currently there are "easy to install" downloads for these Windows front-ends:
* [http://wordofgod.in/Downloads/FreeBibleSoftwares/SwordBibleSoftware.aspx SwordBible]
* [http://www.wordofgod.in/Downloads/FreeBibleSoftwares/BPBibleSoftware.aspx BPBible]
* [http://www.wordofgod.in/Downloads/FreeBibleSoftwares/TheSwordProject.aspx The Sword Project for Windows]
The latter also has the raw module format downloads.

There are also Go Bible (mobile phone) versions, and modules for some non-CrossWire free Bible study applications.

=== Nepal Bible Society ===

[http://www.nepalbiblesociety.org.np/ NBS] has made both its translations available for use with a Nepali interfaced edition of [http://bpbible.com/ BPBible].

* Nepali New Revised Version
* Simple Nepali Holy Bible

Their e-Bible modules are serial numbered and licensed for individual use. Request by email on [http://www.nepalbiblesociety.org.np/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5&Itemid=2 this page].

Both versions are also available as free [http://www.nepalbiblesociety.org.np/go-bible.html Go Bible] applications, with either English or Nepali UI.

=== Thailand Bible Society ===
The Thailand Bible Society has ported The SWORD Project for Windows to make a localized Thai edition complete with several Thai Bible modules.

Visit http://www.thaibible.or.th/crosswire/ (largely in Thai) for more information.

It seems that you may have had to register and be signed in to download their software, but there is a module update in the form of a self-extracting EXE file, which contains some module files suitable for improved searching. There is an illustrated manual available in PDF format (also in Thai). A friend of a friend wrote, "Now I can't actually find the Thai version of The SWORD Project for Windows ANYWHERE. I've seen people using it (several years ago now)."

Latest news (2012-02-09): It would appear that Thailand Bible Society had ceased distributing their localized version of The SWORD Project for Windows, and have switched to promoting The Word instead. See [http://www.thaibible.or.th/]. They have other Bible software available too.

=== An Bíobla Naofa ===

[http://www.anbioblanaofa.org/en/crosswire ABN] module. The Gaeilge (Irish Gaelic) translation (1981) by Monsignor Pádraig Ó Fiannachta. Requires front-end support for [[Alternate Versification]] to display the Deuterocanonical books. This electronic version of the ABN has been adapted to follow the KJVA versification scheme, yet also displays the alternate ABN verse numbers in {braces}.

Choosing a SWORD program

2012-03-24T17:05:30Z

Mjdenham: /* Operating Systems and Portability */

==Introduction==
This page needs to be maintained to give fair coverage of the SWORD front-end programs.

Do feel free to edit this page to make it more complete and better organized.

The purpose of this page is to help an end user decide which SWORD front-end program is the best for them. The first consideration is which programs are available for the user. This can be found at [http://www.crosswire.org CrossWire's home page]. Once the user has narrowed down which programs are available, the following can be used to focus on the best program.

It is recommended that each user try all the available programs. It is likely that one will resonate with the user and work best for that user.

As this page is oriented to program features, it does not distinguish whether the underlying engine is SWORD or JSword.

Some applications have a different CrossWire development code name than the public name.

==Features Common to All SWORD Front-end Applications==
Most SWORD Front-end programs have these features:
* Uses Unicode (though some front-ends don't yet support 5.0 or later)
* Released under an open source license
* Powerful search syntax - wildcard, regex and often also clucene indexed searches (fuzzy and proximity searches + searches for Strong's, stemming etc) within preset and customized scopes.
* Strong's, morphological info, cross references and footnotes
* All front-ends listed below are undergoing more or less active development.
* Verse and block layout
* Image support in all types of modules
* Localization - all front-ends are designed to be readily translatable. Many are translated in various languages.

==Side-by-Side Comparison of Notable SWORD Front-end Applications==
:''This is a work in progress. It may not be 100% accurate. As front-ends are further developed, some items may become out of date.<BR>Please help to keep this page useful by editing it to the best of your knowledge''.

=== Legends ===
To keep the tables below compact, the SWORD programs are identified by abbreviations. Here is an explanation of each of them:
*'''AB''' — [http://code.google.com/p/and-bible/ and-bible] based on JSword, for Android OS
*'''ABS''' — [http://www.kiyut.com/products/alkitab/ Alkitab Bible Study] based on JSword, uses Java 5+
*'''BD''' — [[Frontends:BibleDesktop|BibleDesktop]] based on JSword, uses Java 1.4.2+
*'''BT''' — [http://devel.bibletime.info BibleTime] uses cross-platform Qt toolkit
*'''BPB''' — [http://bpbible.com BPBible] uses wxPython
*'''FB''' — [http://thegoan.com/firebible FireBible] based on JSword, runs in FireFox as an extension
*'''MS''' — [[Frontends:MacSword|MacSword]] ''series 1''
*'''MS2''' — [[Frontends:MacSword|MacSword 2.0]] ''released 2009-10-12'' – subsequently renamed as '''Eloquent'''
*'''PS''' — [http://crosswire.org/pocketsword/ PocketSword] ''v1.x.x''
*'''SPW''' — [[Frontends:BibleCS|The SWORD Project for Windows]]
*'''SB''' — [http://swordwarrior.net/ SwordBible]
*'''Xi''' — [[Frontends:Xiphos|Xiphos]] (formerly [[Frontends:GnomeSword|GnomeSword]])

==== Module Information ====
Some front-ends can display the complete information from the module's conf file. Others can display hardly anything at all of this information. Please use this section to record what each program can display for module information, and how this is accessed.

Please state whether the front-end can display the '''ShortPromo''' link, if present in the module conf file. Except for locked modules, this is the only configuration item that allows HTML.
