- Deliver offline translating, editing, and aligning capability that accepts all valid USFM formatting.
- Aligning in this context refers to mapping translated results and the source to indicate granular correlation.
- Stay simple. We strive to become and remain the most functional bottom-rung in this space.
- Design from the beginning for full offline use compatibility.
- Maintain separation of concerns. This project provides technology, not content. Compatible content will be available from other sources.
The latest version needs the adverb "almost" in front of it -- Almost a Simple USFM Alignment Prototype. It includes:
- Side-by-side USFM areas for the Original Source Language, an Aligned Bridge Language, and the Target Language.
- Expandable and collapsible chapters and paragraphs
- Chapter selection synchronized across all three areas
- Placeholder for an alignment area
- This feature is Coming Soon. Currently it only displays the selected chapter and verse reference to be aligned.
- Important: Ability to store aligned target language information a project is not coming as soon. This will be "Coming Later". This prototype does not yet save alignment!
- Translating, editing, USFM formatting, and exporting of the Target Language
While the latest version can be experienced online, it requires having or obtaining USFM files to have something to open.
