Re: [sword-devel] [jsword-devel] Missing short bible book names for most languages

Re: [sword-devel] [jsword-devel] Missing short bible book names for most languages

Hi David, Yes we have the full book names in BibleNames_*.propertiesso somebody could possibly guesstimate reasonable abbreviated book names from the full book names. There is the possibility

Re: [sword-devel] [jsword-devel] Missing short bible book names for most languages

I've occasionally received source text files (non-English versions) where the same abbreviation was used for two different books! e.g. Jud used for Judges and Jude e.g. Jo used for Joshua and John, not to mention Jonah and Joel. These delinquencies certainly catch out the unwary, and require e

Re: [sword-devel] [jsword-devel] Missing short bible book names for most languages

Hi, So it looks like we can get a couple more sets of abbreviated book names from BPBible and I think if I ask a couple of recent contributors they may be able to translate cs, fi, ru but there will still be a lot of languages without short names. I wouldn't like to disable grid navigation for th

Just to add a little to this conversation. SWORD has a method VerseKey::getShortText() which should give you an abbreviated verse reference. Which currently returns: [ReferenceSystem's Preferred Abbreviation for the Book] ch:vs" This is always English. The intent was to change this to: _tr([R

Re: [sword-devel] [jsword-devel] Missing short bible book names for most languages

There are two types of abbreviations for booknames: 1) abbreviations that are recognized when parsing user input (i.e. we can parse Isa 3:5). 2) abbreviations of a bookname that are shown to the user when an abbreviated form is used (i.e. for Isaiah 3:5, we show Isa 3:5). Peter is talking about 1)

Re: [sword-devel] [jsword-devel] Missing short bible book names for most languages

If you give careful thought to this, Bible book names are not intrinsically tied to the locale. You can have two different translations in the same language that use different book names. Obvious example is the difference between how the books of the Pentateuch are named in some Bible versions. W
