Just saying "hi." 

 

I'm trying to figure out how to use this forum. 

 

My main purpose for getting on this forum is to find out how to submit a bible translation for upload. 

 

A quick point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. What is "Step 1" to submit a Bible translation to be added to the list of Bibles for all users to have the option to download? 

 

Best regards, 

 

Sam

The Bibles and other modules in the e-Sword menu are there uploaded by Rick Meyers who made e-Sword.

Here are "user modules" uploaded.

Some "user modules" became "official modules" if they are popular.

 

If you want that your module is uploaded then need you to contact Rick Meyers on his website with good arguments.

But it is Rick Meyers who decide to upload it.

This site is not connected to the e-Sword built-in e-Sword downloader, so modules uploaded here do not appear in the list of modules within e-Sword. 

Modules can be uploaded to this site for downloading and importing into e-Sword

I assume you mean "do NOT appear in the list of modules within e-Sword."

About your last statement,

"Modules can be uploaded to this site for downloading and importing into e-Sword"

What does that mean? Does that mean that I can upload the translation to this website and then import it into my e-Sword app for my own personal use?

What is a "user module"? Is it an app/tool used to format text in preparation for being used in the e-Sword app?

Let's say Rick Meyers decides to upload this Indonesian TTR. What exactly will he be uploading? A pdf file? HTML?

What must I do to be ... uploaded?

The official modules of e-Sword are uploaded by Rick Meyers for direct download.

The user modules are uploaded here.

 

Modules are data files that are converted to work for a program (here e-Sword).

The Bible module format is bbli that is a kind of SQL file.

(bblx is an old format that only works on the PC version of e-Sword).

 

We use usual ToolTipToolNT to make modules that are based txt, html, rtf or PDF sources.

 

If you make an Indonesian bible module then need you a html or txt file saved as UTF-8 with the verse numbering.

 

And the Module Define Variables above the Bible text.

#define title=TITLE

#define abbreviation=ABBR

#define information=Enter Info Here

#define versionHD=4

#define ot=1

#define nt=1

#define apocrypha=0

#define strong=0

#define right2left=0

÷

 

If it is only the New Testament then change #define ot=1 to #define ot=0

Simplest way is to contact the developer using the contact form he provides on his site. Contact Rick Meyers about e-Sword for PC

Contact Rick Meyers about Android

Yes this site is a repository of more then 3000 free modules for use with e-Sword which can be downloaded into e-Sword for your own use. All of the modules on this site have been created and uploaded by e-Sword users and made available for all e-Sword users and all versions of e-Sword. 
 

All of the modules available on this site are in the public domain and thus not subject to any copyrights which is how they are free. Bible Support does not allow the uploading or distribution of copyrighted works on this site

 

The list of modules located within e-Sword is a list of copyrighted works for which e-Sword developer Rick Meyers as obtained licenses in order to make them available for e-Sword. The majority of modules available directly through e-Sword are free but there are small number that are premium or paid modules that must be purchased for e-Sword use as part of the licensing deals.

A user module is a module created by an e-Sword user using e-Sword Tooltip NT which is the module creation tool for creating e-Sword modules. Users can the upload their modules to this site adding their modules to this sites vast collection making them available for all e-Sword users. 

Bible modules by design contain just the text of a bible with one verse per-line each line having book, chapter and verse references such as GEN 1:1 for Genesis chapter 1 verse 1

Bible modules can be created in two formats each with its own unique file extension the file extensions are bblx and bbli. The bblx format works on the windows versions of e-Sword only, while bbli format can be used on all versions of e-Sword; Windows, Android and Apple/Mac. 

There is a learning curve when learning to create content for e-Sword but once you get the hang of things module creation becomes easy and fun.
