Hi,

Troy created Bishop which was based on the Sword C++ library.  It was a very
nice prototype but I believe there has been no further development of it.

Simultaneously I had started work on a Bible for Android based on JSword
(Java) which you can find at the and-bible link below.  I hope you enjoy
using it if you try it out.  One advantage of using pure Java is that the
bible will run on all Android hardware.

You can see a rough summary of the current status  here:
http://code.google.com/p/and-bible/

<http://code.google.com/p/and-bible/>Gabor, I am glad the Hungarian bible
works.  I really have done very little testing on non-english texts but
sometimes hear of people who use it successfully.  Maybe you would be
willing to translate some ui text into Hungarian some time.  Thomas has
translated a little into Swedish for me and the ui is fully translatable.

Best regards
Martin
