Preferred translation #190

Open opengemara opened 8 years ago

Can I set the default translation for the "hebrew-english" Tanach, (say Genesis 1:1)

For example, you have five translations (3 English, one French and two Finnish) for that chapter:

  1. Jewish English Torah
  2. Modernized Tanakh - Based on JPS 1917, Edited by Adam Cohn
  3. La bible d'André Chouraqui
  4. The Rashi chumash by Rabbi Shraga Silverstein
  5. Suomi Käännös [fi]
  6. Suomi Käännös By Ezra Lindholm [fi]

I prefer reading the 4th (for example). Is there a way (or there should be a way) to select which translation to read:

For example http://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.1.1?lang=he-en&layout=heLeft&sidebarLang=all&translation=TheRashiChumash

I believe this is possible as of the "s2 rewrite" last summer. The URL for the example you gave would be https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.1.1/en/The_Rashi_chumash_by_Rabbi_Shraga_Silverstein?lang=bi.

@pzp1997 Those URLS point to a specific translation, and will keep that translation as a default within one session, but it won't be sticky in a cookie are stored as a setting to your user account. So this is partially possible right now, but as good as it could be.
