I would like to ask you some questions though Bibledit community. <br>I see you there. Thank you for your reply.<br><br>Hello David<br><br>Oh, you know much about the Bible's situation in Japan. It is really really "messed up".<br>Kougo and Bungo use very old fashioned Japanese, like King James. <br><br>Ones most used in churches like Shinkyodo and Shinkai do not seem to distribute or even sell<br>online their digital formats. (only sell through softwares that they made)<br><br>The only hope, Denmo has not been updated since 2002, translated a part of new testament. <br><br>This issue becoming really really critical as many people shifting away from papers, especially <br>from young generations. Though I am sure it is not only happening in Japan.<br><br>In Christ<br><br>Kunio<br><br><br>> Subject: Re: Open Japanese Collaborative Bible Translation (was Re: [sword-devel] New subscriber's first post (introduction & project proposal))<br>> From: teusjannette@gmail.com<br>> To: open-scriptures@googlegroups.com<br>> CC: n_e_o_m@hotmail.com; sword-devel@crosswire.org; jtauber@jtauber.com; bseagraves@bible.org<br>> Date: Fri, 9 Apr 2010 18:10:03 +0200<br>> <br>> On Fri, 2010-04-09 at 08:47 -0700, Weston Ruter wrote:<br>> > I love your idea.
