Norwegian Go Bible requires better source text #171

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
There are several text issues in the Norwegian Go Bible v2.2.6 downloaded from 
Jolon's original Go Bible website. e.g.

65 Yen (¥) characters should be replaced by LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH STROKE 
(Ø)

Many words containing apostrophes have the next character missing.

Some words at the start of a verse omit the first character.

Some words are misspelt.

There are various hyphenation problems.

etc.

Need to find a better text source.

The source text file is called norsk.xml

This is in OSIS format, and the file validates to the OSIS schema.

I converted the file to VPL to compare it with the text within SWORD module 
Norsk version 1.6 (recently submited), which was made from a different source 
text.

About=Denne er det Norsk Bibelselskapets 1930 utgave av Bibelen på Norsk 
(Bokmål)\par This is the Norwegian Bible Society's 1930 edition of the Bible 
in Bokmål Norwegian\par Text scanned and proofed by H. Priebe and co-workers. 
Based on the version prepared by Tore Vamraak. With corrections in Psalm 119.

TextSource=http://tore.vamraak.no/bibelen.asp

Work is underway to improve the SWORD module, with assistance from Pål Gjerde 
Gammelsæter.

When this task has been completed, I will also make a new Norwegian Go Bible.

As an interim measure, I just rebuilt the Norsk Go Bible using Go Bible version 
2.4.5 after replacing ¥ by Ø in norsk.xml

Download it from https://www.box.com/shared/5m6ucobwkg

The Zip file also includes the updated source text.
