9 years ago Currently, Bible verses are downloaded from http://www.biblegateway.com/ in
realtime - does BibleGateway.com show Bible in the language you're looking for?
If so, then the support for your language (at least in the Bible module) is
very easy - I'll just update it with the proper language code so you can select
that Bible in the Bible tab.
However, if BibleGateway.com does not support your langague, I can work to
update DViz to support "offline" Bibles loaded from disk instead of over the
internet. Does http://www.churchsw.org/church-software-project support the
language you're looking for in Bibles and Songs? If so, I can try to update
DViz to support their data format so you can import Bible texts directly from
their datafiles.
From what I gather from your report, the two areas you've requested better
multilingual support is Bible (addressed above), and Songs. Implicit in your
request I would imagine is the User Interface as well (e.g. things like
translating the "File" menu options to your language, etc.)
As far as Songs go - the current database supplied with DViz is (obviously) all
English. Are you looking for the database to be pre-loaded with songs in your
target language? Or is there a flaw/bug/etc in the way DViz handles your
language that prevents you from adding new songs in your target language?
Obviously, if churchsw has your language in Songs as well, the updates I do for
the Bible module would make it possible to also import the songs they have in
your language.
I guess it comes down to a question of "Data" and "Functionality." If all that
is lacking in supporting your language is a lack of "Data" (e.g. Bible verses
or Songs database), then we just need to find a provider of "Data" for DViz
that has your language and I'll try to make DViz compatible with that provider.
However, a much bigger concern for me is if their is some "Functionality" in
DViz that makes it not work for your language - if that's the case, please do
let me know what specific functionality in DViz makes it hard (or impossible)
to work with your language and I'll try to get those things fixed as well.
So, in closing, please let me know about (a) BibleGateway and your language,
(b) churchsw and your language for both Songs and Bible, and (c) is their some
part of DViz functionality that needs improved/fixed to handle your language?
