SpaRV 1.5
(Tested in Alkitab 2.4.1 and PocketSword 1.3; corrections from a paper copy of the Valera 1909 and a PDF that I found on the 'net which seems to be from an independent source.)
Description
The SpaRV (Spanish Reina-Valera 1909) module is missing verses and verse fragments from various Old Testament passages where the verse numbering differs from the standard English (KJV) scheme. I skimmed the text in parallel view mode with the KJV to try to find the obvious gaps and have compiled a list.
I also found a few places where the text is corrupted, with repeated or missing phrases, misspellings, or nonsense like "fhfifhfi" inserted. I suspect there are more of these smaller errors scattered throughout the text, but I don't have an easy way to find them all right now. (Maybe someone with a lot of patience could run a Spanish spell check on the source or something?)
All of these issues appear to come from an upstream source from which the SpaRV module and other online Valera 1909 texts were converted automatically, however I have not been able to figure out what that source is yet. Obviously, it should be fixed, too, if possible.
The list of specific errors is a bit long, so for readability I have attached a neatly formatted version to this bug report as an HTML file. Feel free to contact me by email if there is anything else I can do to help.
This is an updated version of the error list; I found another missing verse at the end of 1 Kings.
