Dear Sword Team & KMTAye,
Greetings. Sorry for the late reply. I have been on the road for some =
missions trip.
I have recently revisited Myanmar was out internet communication for a =
while.
Updates on the Myanmar Bible Project:
Phase 1: Complete Burmese Language Bible Software.
1. New Testament (Judson Version) has been completed typed and in the =
process of editing.
2. Old Testament (Judson Version) has begun and will take 1-3 months to =
complete typing.
Began to interface this soft copy of Judson Version Burmese Bible with =
the Sword Project Platform.
Have 8 volunteers in Myanmar, Malaysia and USA helping right now.
Target to complete the Beta version of Burmese Bible by December 2004. =
New Testament by July 2004.
Need Help:
(1) To produce Burmese Unicode for the software..... so that the entire =
software can be operated by Burmese literate people with no English =
functionality. There is currently Myanmar fonts and the "ability to do =
word processing using this true type fonts."
PHASE 2: Complete Chin, Kachin, Karen and other Myanmar languages .
1. Many of these tribal languages used Roman alphabets and therefore =
post lesser technical challenges. I am confident to be able to secure =
permission for various Bible Societies to install the Bible into the =
sword project.
PHASE 3: Bible Commentaries, Bible Dictionary, Sermons and other helps =
in Burmese language.
PHASE 4: Making the Myanmar Bible Software available to the Myanmar =
churches world-wide.
PHASE 5: Continual Research and Development of more Myanmar Bible =
Reference Materials.
