It depends on what the copyright situation is with that translation, if it is under copyright then the copyright holder has to give permission for the module to be made.

Please contact the Bible society of South Africa, because the text is under their copyright. Bible Support website only provides copyright information with specific permission of the copyright holder. Suggest this option to them. e-Sword provides the text of verses in verse order, in chapter and book order using SQLite database format. Explain that Rick Meyers would be able to provide their copyright version for individual users to use, under their copyright with permission, which would be read using the e-Sword Bible Study application, for Microsoft PC, for Apple Mac, for Apple iPad, for Apple iphone and e-sword for Android devices - so that the user can compare the results with many other translations. Inform them how to view Rick Meyers's options at https://e-sword.net

Suggest to them that they provide the option including the Deuterokanonieke Boeke, in addition to Ou Testament, Nuwe Testament, and also Voorwoord, Verantwoording, Woordelys, and Kaarte, and all Inleidings to each book, and .they can forward this in electronic format, together with permission to provide this freely for use with the e-Sword application, to Rick Meyers (Rick@e-sword.net)
