Thank you. But it reminds me to return (originally I wrote about this in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.literature.sword.devel/25972) myself to the unhappy state (or very happy, actually) state of the Czech modules in Sword. Looking at http://crosswire.org/sword/modules/ModDisp.jsp?modType=Bibles we have: CzeB21 Czech Bible, Překlad 21. století CzeBKR Czech Bible Kralicka CzeCEP Czech Ekumenicky Cesky preklad CzeCSP Czech Český studijní překlad CzeKMS Czech Preklad KMS Nova smlouva CzeNKB Czech Nova kralicka Bible We are very fortunate that from the four most modern and most official current Biblical translations in the Czech language we have three (we are missing the Cahotlic Jerusalem Bible, and some of my Catholics friends complained about missing Deuterocanonical books in CzeCEP; but that's another issue, although important one, Czechia is if anything the mostly a Catholic country). CzeBKR is the Renaissance/Reformation translation of the Bible to Czech from the original languages (the fifth in Europe!), somewhat equivalent of KJV (albeit a bit more readable for the current Czechs than KJV is for the current native English). However, the problem is that we have two books twice in various versions of the development. CzeNKB is actually original unfinished draft of CzeB21 (NKB means in translation "New Kralická Bible", i.e., revision of CzeBKR; however, after some development, the authors recognized that they are actually not working on mere revision, but a fresh new translation so they called "The Bible 21"). The same goes for CzeKMS which is an original unfinished draft of CzeCSP (KMS is the organization sponsoring the translation, but in the end the project was named "Český Studijní Překlad; Czech Study Translation"). Here the situation is even more bad, because CzeCSP is really an official version from the published texts with all footnotes, cross-references, etc. and CzeKMS is not. So, I would suggest removing CzeNKB and CzeKMS from the repository altogether (do we have some Attic or something of that kind?), because it brings just confusion to our users. ------------------------- Now to our Slovak neighbors (I was born in Czechoslovakia, so I have still heart for them). When looking at the same page http://crosswire.org/sword/modules/ModDisp.jsp?modType=Bibles I see direct opposite of the Czech situation: there is nothing. We don’t have any Slovak Bible at all. There is a Sword module of the Catholic translation at http://www.kristus.bibletop.sk/sword.zip, but it looks to be of rather poort quality (KJV v11n and missing deuterocanonic / apocryphal books, which is even more unfortunate; Slovakia is *very* Catholic country). I am in communication with its author who offered me it for Sword. However, I am not sure about his right to do so and I would like to get the original source texts to be able to improve it (yes, I know about mod2osis, but still original sources could bring more data). Otherwise the text is readable in Xiphos (although even in the first chapter I read, I see typos). What do you think?
