Dear all,

Actually their Chinese translation is quite good. A very modern
Chinese translation and easy to read.

In Lord Jesus,
Poetry

Hi all,

Does anyone know anything about the World Bible Translations Center
(www.wbtc.com)? There have done translations of the Bible into a
number of
languages and have a number of them on there website for free
download. They
even allow electronic redistribution (although they require premission
to
post translations on a server). They seem to focus on easy of
readability. In
fact their English version is the Easy to Read Version which was
targeted at
the deaf. I am especially interested in their Chinese and various
Indic
language translations. However, I have no way of evaluating the
quality of
their translations since I can't read any language except English :-(.
That
is why I'm wondering if anyone on this list knows anything about the
organization.

Thanks,

Joel
