Further I am really upset about the confusing of the "problem" with popular but expensive and hence unavailable texts and the other stuff in DBL. We have excellent relationships with many Bible societies and now you setting up something which confuses this is simply wrong.
If you must, concentrate on NIV etc, but please do not create an alternative path for publication of CrossWire modules for the bulk of this world's languages
Wrt bulk conversion. Does not work and those who think it does have not worked long enough with texts to the standard we want to see in CrissWire

Apps are often times available with non-free translations for free, but
that's not the case for decent desktop bible study software.
Even if the market is reduced to desktop bible study programs, that's
still a rather large market where Sword-based software could increase
its share.
Desktop bible study software is often times used by people in ministries
(teaching/preaching/bible study preparation). And these kind of users
are usually also ready to pay.
Best regards,
Tobias
