Good afternoon, I have a question about importing a bible to use offline, as we do not have internet in church. I have tried to download from the ZEFANIA website the Italian version of the New Revised 2006, and inserted in the Bible Library, but when I start SongOfSongs it is immediately closed: probably the file format is not suitable for the program; Is there a solution?
Thanks for the support, Maurizio

Hi OPT007,

Offline bibles is a difficult due to publishers giving permission to use their versions. Currently we only officially offer 3 offline bibles.

While you do need the internet to download the online bibles, you don't need it to view them once they are saved into your service. So if for now you can create you service while you have an internet connection then that would work.

However, we could look at writing a converter to that we can import them from 'ZEFANIA' or other sources as we come across them.

I've had a go at converting the Italian New Revised Version into the Song of Songs and can be download from Download Italian New Revised Version

Let me know if it looks Ok.

Regards,

Gordon.

I've been looking at seeing how to convert ZEFANIA bibles to the Song of Songs and the formats are very close and actually quite easy to convert between.

All you have to do is the following 9 'Find and Replace' on the ZEFANIA XML files in this order.

'<XMLBIBLE' ----> '<bible'
"<BIBLEBOOK' ----> '<book'
'<CHAPTER cnumber=' ----> '<chapter name='
'<VERS vnumber=' ----> '<verse name='
'bname=' ----> 'name='
'</VERS>' ----> '</verse>'
'</CHAPTER>' ----> '</chapter>'
'</BIBLEBOOK>' ----> '</book>'
'</XMLBIBLE>' ----> '</bible>'

This should then allow you to use your Bible version. We batch converted over 250+ ZEFANIA bibles and it looks like it works great.

Lots of ZEFANIA Bibles can be found here.
