Cameron Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 This might be very unusual request. I have recently imported a Swahili language Bible as a User Text into Accordance. This works great (mostly) so far. The challenge I have is i would like to link the Swahili to the original languages <OR> to English... and/also, if I could create a tagged text for language correlation to English, that would also be very helpful. Is this possible for a user? Thanks, Cam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabian Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 In general this is not possible right now. The way I do it is as follows: after the word I add the <sup> </sup>. E.g God<sup>H430</sup> this allows you to search for it and to hide them if it is not used. What do you mean by "mostly"? Greetings Fabian BTW I have some wishes too. https://www.accordancebible.com/forums/topic/13348-user-bibles-import-options/?hl=%2Bimport+%2Boptions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameron Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) I was struggling with a parallel search by verse issue, but just realized I didn't have any Psalms #:0 verses and that was creating an offset of 1 verse for every chapter that should have had that ":0" reference ....all good now. Creating a Bible text that has all of the proper paragraph locations and other formatting option embedded is quite the undertaking...I could write a program to insert the formatting in the text if something like a Bible format template existed...otherwise it is completely manual..eish. With regard to the tagging and using the tags to identify word links to original texts, that would be cool - or i could create a Swahili <--> English cross reference...that would be great too...too bad that isn't an option... How would you HIDE the reference you mentioned above? I tested and I can see it Mwanzo 1:1 Hapo mwanzo Mungu H430 aliziumba mbingu na nchi... How do you hide the (H430)? Thanks Fabian Edited February 5, 2019 by Cameron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, I guessed this. Or you can use another Bible as verse references. Command-T, Advanced, Hide/surpess ... http://accordancefiles2.com/helpfiles/OSX12/Default.htm#topics/05_dd/preparing_the_text-ub.htm%3FTocPath%3DDigging%2520Deeper%7CImporting%2520Bibles%7C_____2 I can send you a user Bible I have done with a lot of poetry to see how I have done it.

If you have done the tagging Accordance can (with your and the agreement of the Bible © holder) add it to the shop. BUT honestly I'm not full of hope. I have sent them a lot of Bibles and © Addresses and they have rejected it. Greetings Fabian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We appreciate your input, but please stop accusing us of ignoring it. My Computer has an e-mail program and as I asked some license holder, some of them negated your company has contacted them. I try my best, but sometimes it breaks through. Greetings Fabian BTW the Elberfelder CSV with Strong's which the publisher had corrected the Strong's number over a few years. This I would REALLY love to have it in Accordance. Edited February 5, 2019 by Fabian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
