Dear Timmy,
To the best of myt knowledge we have never tried getting this or any other Plattdeutsch/Plautdietsch translations. The reference you found is something else - it gives our programmes a language list skeleton to sort Bibles under - so if we had one, it would turn up under the right heading.
The best approach re copyrights is always a direct question, preferentially personally directed phonecall/email/letter and only after figuring out who exactly you need to speak to. You want to cut out all those many who might bin it instead of passing on. So some phone calls/internet searches and then once you got a name and a direct email address - a targetted approach. At some point one of us (Troy or me) would need to come into it to discuss the legal detail, but if you go and ask - as a user of the translation - you will nearly always find you get a better hearing then if we come from the outside.
The main questions we would have is
a) we want permission to distribute as CrossWire module
b) we need the text preferentially from source, which is as this is a UBS text, likely in USFM format
Thanks!
yours
Peter

Betreff: [sword-devel] Bible Translation Plautdietsch
Good day friends,
I am new in this group and I have a question about getting another translation available as a SWORD module.
My native language is Plautdietsch, we call it "Low German" when speaking in English, and there is a Bible version in this language already, joint published by Kindred Productions (www.kindredproductions.com) and United Bible Societies (www.unitedbiblesocieties.org). The Bible can be seen online here: https://www.bible.com/versions/563-pb-de-bibel
Is there someone here who has already gotten permissions from one of these publishers or knows what is the best way to do it?
Secondly, I am willing to go ahead and try to do it myself, but can someone here give me information on what the specifics of the permission need to be? I am not familiar with what license it needs to be, or whom they are giving permission to, in order to do this.
Any help and pointers would be greatly appreciated!
I saw a long list of languages in this mail list thread from 2009, where Plautdietsch is in the list. I am not sure if it's just a list of languages or what, because I have not found any materials in this language in the modules. http://www.crosswire.org/pipermail/jsword-svn/2009-February/003446.html
God bless.
