Multi language song display

[vladozar]

From emails: Andrei Chernyshev: Add ability to add English and Russian Songs to show side by side. i.e. like 2 Bible Versions. so that you can display for both audiences.

Vladozar(Developer): I have been thinking about this for some time, but here is the main obstacle. In Bible, all verses(text) have a common book, chapter, verse identification across all languages. There is no such thing between any two songbooks, even in the Russian language we have 3 Песнь Возрожденя and they have different songs/numbering, mainly in the дополнеие. There is no two songbook, in two languages, that would have same songs in the same order with same numbers.

Here is what you can do now, either create a new songbook or edit existing one. The song you want to display in both languages, edit the text as follows (i have example of verse one only):

Куплет 1.1 Этот день, этот день сотворил Господь, Сотворил Господь На радость нам, на радость нам И веселие, и веселие.

This is the day, this is the day that the Lord has maid, Let us rejoice, let us rejoice and be glad in it, and be glad in it.

Andrei Chernyshev: what about adding a column to database. to link a song from another book to the song you are viewing? and it matches verse for verse.

Vladozar(Developer): Good Idea, So essentially, link the two songs together. the program then will verify that both songs have same amount and type of stanzas. Or possibly after linking with another song, be able to edit both songs at the same time. Will have to see what will be more feasible.
