Hello and greetings,
I have a great need of making or editing a bible to make it easier to find verses, by typing the exact word without movements.
I do use Arabic SVD however the movements makes it difficult, i do have to write the whole word down perfectly so that search engine will find the word, is there a way to make the Arabic bible (without any movements) by deleting all the word movements, and just use the exact letters?
thanks and God bless.

is there a way to make the Arabic bible (without any movements) by deleting all the word movements, and just use the exact letters?

There is a process that works about 20 percent of the time. It is much simpler, and faster to construct concordances with word pairs/triplets/quads/quints.

I understand what you mean. It should not be too difficult to remove the vowels if we had the text, but since the module is encrypted, we don't have access to it.

Let me try and find that text somewhere else, and I will build that module for you.

Hi Gilbert

I found the text and prepared your Bible module. The text was in a very easy to import format, so it didn't take long.

I removed all the vowels and other diacritics, so it can now be searched correctly. Also, in this module the font is correctly set as Arabic (in the official one it's wrongly identified as Hebrew) so you can change the appearance of the text using the Arabic Font option.

What do you think would be the best name and abbreviation for this module? Maybe "SVD-"?

Hi, I do not want to make a bible, I simply want to read it in arabic. The hurdles I am facing now start by using Mac, the crossover didn't work, nor wine, none of any other methods. The core works well on X11, however the arabic text using SVD (doesn't display i.e. blank page) and makes the e-sword crash everytime including the use of parallels and compare. Any help would be most appreciated. Forgot, the only way to install it is via the "Play on Mac".
