Other Module Sources (Non-Repositories)
Institute for Scripture Research
The 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
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.
Polish Projekt Sword
Polish Projekt SWORD. Copyright status uncertain for some of the available Polish modules.
Institute for Bible Translation
The Institute for Bible Translation provides a number of translations in various Turkic languages of Central Asia. Currently these include Karakalpak, Turkmen (both Latin & Cyrillic), Uzbek (both Latin & Cyrillic), and Kyrgyz (both Arabic & Cyrillic). Alongside these translations are modules for English, Russian, Korean and the original Bible languages (Hebrew and Greek). Further modules are in preparation.
Note: Although they appear to be SWORD modules, and SWORD modules work on their MK program, these modules do not work on standard SWORD software. This is because the MK program is based on a fork of the SWORD engine source code, adapted to seamlessly provide dual versification for a variant of the Russian Synodal Translation (RST) versification and that of the KJV. Central Asian translations generally follow the RST. With the advent of Alternate Versification in SWORD, it is envisaged that the MK program may eventually become fully compatible, though the modules currently available from IBT will never be compatible with any release of SWORD from CrossWire.
Paite e-Holy Bible
Paite is spoken in parts of North East India, Burma & Bangladesh. The Paite e-Holy Bible version 2 (2008-12-17) is available from 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.
German Volxbibel
Volxbibel – A new German Bible translation in the language of the young generation. The translation is under the Creative Commons license, so non-commercial use and distribution is allowed. A SWORD module called VLX3 has been created by Jan Krohn, who has also built Go Bible applications for Java mobile phones. Contact Jan Krohn for further details.
