For me free doesn't mean "not to pay", but opensource. Free as gitlab is
free, and not github.

According to the FAQ at the end of https://www.transifex.com/pricing/
Transifex is free for open source projects which "have no funding,
revenue and/or commercialization model". See the FAQ for details.

BibleTime is quite successfully using Transifex.

Dear Zdenko,

There may be another issue where I am showing text early during startup
before reading the saved locale.  I will look into it, but I do not see
the new strings in your locale at the link you provided, and the first
one is the text which shows immediate upon startup when a new app
version is first run.  Specifically:

No look Troy gave us the new strings, you are speaking about the "old"
strings. You need to add the new. You fork and clone the git repo. The
new are in the template.
@Troy, we have to figure out how to automate the translation with Pootle
or something else like transifex (nice tool but not free).

Hello Troy,

After installing this version initial screens (like warning, install
manager for modules) are in English. When application started (e.g. there
is biblie text), menu and navigation, library/module installer is in
Slovak.
Can you check why Slovak translation is not from first moment?

But after it works perfectly. Send us the new strings to be translated.

Re: [sword-devel] Bishop 1.4.0 and SWORD Utility Modules

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Thank you to each one who responded with a font suggestion.  I have
bundled 3 suggestions.

There are two new options under Settings which should allow you to
selects a font for both the reading text and also the application text.

I first list all the bundled fonts, then 3 generic font families, and
finally I list all the fonts the OS tells me are available.  I haven't
much luck setting any of these last group on my phone, but they are
supposed to be available, so I left them in the list hoping it's just a
quirk with my phone.

Thank you again for the suggestions.

Re: [sword-devel] Bishop 1.4.0 and SWORD Utility Modules

[Daniel Owens]

Not sure if I love it, but Google's Noto fonts are designed to handle 
many different languages. Noto Serif would not be a bad choice. We use 
it to publish books in Vietnamese. It is published under the SIL Open 
Font License. See https://www.google.com/get/noto/. I believe it is also 
converted to a web font 
already:https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Noto+Serif?selection.family=Noto+Serif.

You'll need to turn on the "Show Parallel Gospels" setting.

Or you can have a look at SWORDWeb here:

http://www2.crosswire.org/study/passagestudy.jsp?key=Matt.3

You'll notice the Eusebian numbers in the left margin.  Click on one to
see the Gospel parallels for that passage using the currently selected
Bible.

You'll also see a slider at the top of the parallel Gospels page which
allows adjusting context before and after.

The Utility Modules concept brings a solution to the common problem
we've had when we'd like to include a dataset with SWORD for
implementing features in a frontend, but not have the module displayed
to the end user.  We've never had a standard way to include these,
update these, etc.  We've hacked a few datasets into the engine (e.g.,

none of these are good implementations nor were standardized ways to

the coming months and years.  We should start a wiki page where
developers can learn about Utility modules which are available.  I'll be
sure to include a "how to use" primer in the "About" section of these
first two.

Hope everyone is staying healthy.  God's blessings,

Troy

Re: [sword-devel] Bishop 1.4.0 and SWORD Utility Modules

[Michael H]

I like PT Serif and PT Sans because they have a wide coverage in Latin, and
Cyrillic, including many minority languages. These fonts also have
complimentary narrow and caption faces that are handy for proper
typesetting, and a pretty well done kerning table, which really helps for
extended reading and pushing the font as small as possible.

The Font with the best unicode coverage in Latin that I like the best is
EBGaramond. (mated with Ysabeau for Sans.) But this is a tall font, and for
screens that's not the most accepted way to view. (Phone screens today can
(almost always) handle it, but the low res has created an expectation of
short and fat letters, not tall letters.)

Another very good unicode coverage font for latin text is Garava (
http://www.softerviews.org/Fonts.html ) It's shaped better for screens.
I've wanted to use the included illuminated capitals, but I don't get as
much time for development as I'd like. It's a good choice to include as an
alternative, but I wouldn't recommend it for an ONLY choice.

I have been using DejaVu Serif a lot. It is plain, very readable, and has good 
Unicode coverage for several writing systems. It is also free.

[sword-devel] Bishop 1.4.0 and SWORD Utility Modules

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Dear all,

I'm wrapping up the next release of Bishop and would like to possibly
change the default reading font.

Does anyone have a special place in their heart for a favorite font they
would recommend?  It should be freely usable, have a good coverage of
Unicode and preferably already converted to a web font.

For other frontend developers, this next release of Bishop uses a new
feature of the upcoming SWORD release called "Utility" modules.  These
are modules which frontends can download, update, and remove with
InstallMgr, like any other module, but they are not intended to be shown
to end users.  They contain utility data for implementing frontend
features.  The specific utility modules used by this new release of
Bishop are the two Eusebian Canon modules which provide data for
creating parallel Gospel displays.  SWORD will eventually hide these
modules from the normal modules list, so they won't show in existing
frontends when installed, but for now trunk still shows them under a
category "Utility".

To see what you can do with this Eusebian utility module set, a
pre-release of Bishop can be installed from here:

http://crosswire.org/~scribe/bishop-1.3.901.apk
bishop-1.3.901.apk size: 8858668 md5: 8eaf67ad5eb7d205178638dcbef418b7

You'll need to turn on the "Show Parallel Gospels" setting.

Or you can have a look at SWORDWeb here:

http://www2.crosswire.org/study/passagestudy.jsp?key=Matt.3

You'll notice the Eusebian numbers in the left margin.  Click on one to
see the Gospel parallels for that passage using the currently selected
Bible.

You'll also see a slider at the top of the parallel Gospels page which
allows adjusting context before and after.

The Utility Modules concept brings a solution to the common problem
we've had when we'd like to include a dataset with SWORD for
implementing features in a frontend, but not have the module displayed
to the end user.  We've never had a standard way to include these,
update these, etc.  We've hacked a few datasets into the engine (e.g.,
the "locales" locale for looking up internationalized locale names), but
none of these are good implementations nor were standardized ways to
include or update these datasets.  I am hoping this Eusebian module set
will be just the first of many "Utility" modules we make available in
the coming months and years.  We should start a wiki page where
developers can learn about Utility modules which are available.  I'll be
sure to include a "how to use" primer in the "About" section of these
first two.

Hope everyone is staying healthy.  God's blessings,

Troy
