Fabian Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Hello If I use "Get Verses" from a German Bible which is set to display the German book names in Accordance, then the import of the book name is in English. Thanks Fabian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Weaks Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I would think this has always been the case, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabian Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 I referring to the Accordance own "Get Verses" and it would be nice if my request would be addressed. Even it would be nice if we can also choose between the full name and the abbreviation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Weaks Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Right... I know what feature you were demonstrating (I think you mean in contrast to the Services, which I assume also have this problem). I was just asking a clarifying question that this has been the case since the Get Verses feature was introduced. You're absolutely right that it makes the feature useless pretty much for non-english primary users. It would certainly be helpful to non-english primary users to have it improved. Technically, this is not a bug, however. You are pointing out a needed "Feature request". The program, while not doing what the user wants it to do, is doing exactly what it's programmed to do. It's not crashing or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Request or in the bug section. If I have it all in German I expect to get outputs in German. I don't have inside information how it is programmed. The chance was 50 50 to post in the right section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayDee Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Is there a solution for this? Im preparing a lot of students papers at the moment and im very unproductive with the "copy as citation" by having an english book name instead of german book names..

Joe Weaks Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Fabian, We could pretty easily modify a custom version of the "Acc - Insert Verses" Service to substitute with German book names. First, we'd have to settle on what custom format will be used... as in, the markers, is bookname abbreviated or not, is there a content reference before the verse? Is there a citation reference? etc. The other thing I would need is a tab delimited file with the book name substitutes, as in: Josh Jos Judg Ri Ruth Rut … or using full names if that’s what we prefer rather than using abbreviations. You can message me if want to pursue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Weaks Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I created a fix by customizing the "Acc - Insert Verses" Service. It should be enough info for you to alter it to fit your needs. Adding Non-English Book Names to Acc-Insert Verses Service 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
