We already have a module called BretonNT for the translation known as Koad21.
The latest set of USFM files for the Breton Bible now includes 8 books from the OT as well as the complete NT. One of the OT books is Psalms. 115 Psalms have a canonical title, marked in USFM using the \d tag. Here is where things get rather complicated. In this translation, the Psalms follow a common versification practice seen in many French Bibles. The canonical Psalm title is either all of verse 1 or the first part of verse 1. Thus we have a situation in which the verse tag is part of the title, and (for some Psalms) the title itself only the first part of the verse. Here's an example of this unusual situation: \c 11 \cl Salm 11 \d \v 1 D'ar mestr-kaner; salm David. \p En em dennet on da gavout an \nd AOTROU\nd*. Penaos eta e lavarit da'm ene: Tec'h en ho menez evel ul labous? \v 2 Rak setu, ar re zrouk a stegn ar wareg; kempennet o deus ar bir war ar gordenn, evit tennañ en deñvalijenn war ar re o deus ar galon eeun. This is perfectly valid USFM as regards Paratext. That's from one of the experts in the Bible Society. However, it poses major challenge for the task of making a SWORD module. An OSIS file produced by running usfm2osis.py gives nesting warnings when the module is built with osis2mod. e.g. for the same Psalm. WARNING(NESTING): verse Ps.11.1 is not well formed:(4,3) The 115 Psalms that have canonical titles all generate such a warning. btw. These warnings are in addition to the 67 (V11N) warnings commonly encountered for French Bibles, for which there is yet no suitable versification scheme (canon.h file) built into SWORD. Being reluctant to compromise, I need the best developors' minds to give some serious thought on how to tackle this. Please advise. (Further details available upon request.)
