Translation update, new Bible Version, new Tool

By paddy2706 on 06 October 2008

Hey everyone,

I have just published a new version of the German translation on my website.

Along with it comes another German Bible Version. Now there are two German Bible translations avaliable for free. (Volxbibel 2.0, Neue evangelistische Übertragung rev. 12). More to come soon. (in progress: Luther 1545, Schlachter 1951, ...)Screenshot

In addition to that I have created a small tool, that cleans song titles from full stops and commas. It is similar to the one gushie has published, but written in Python with a GTK interface. Also it does not cramble German Umlauts (ä,ö,ü,...) but just remove unwanted characters.

I'm currently working on a Zefania-XML to openlp.org-CSV converter and on a Author Cleanup Tool (remove unused authors, split authors that contain more than 1 name [we have that problem due to importing songs from OpenSong Format])

A few more tools are planned but developement hasn't started yet. Comments are always welcome.

Praise God!

Patrick

Finding bugs, writing utilities... Looks like you're making me redundant! Smile

Great work!

screenshot making you redundant was not what I had in mind Innocent

I just don't have any Windows machine at home and i couldn't get wsh to run VBS under wine.

but what I actually came for here was another anouncement: there is an update to my tool, it is now called openlp.org Database Tools 0.4 and includes a lot more functionality.

downloads and so on can be found on my website as usual.

openlp.org Database Tools 0.4.1

Quote from http://patrick-brueckner.de/wordpress/2008/10/11/olptools-update/:

I just published an update to the openlp.org Database Tools 0.5, this time including an .deb for Ubuntu and Debian. It automatically guesses the path to songs.olp and creates a backup before manipulating by default.

In addition to that I firstly published Zefania XML to CSV Converter 0.3. This tool converts Zefania-Sharp XML Files to CSV files that are compatible to openlp.org.

Thirdly, the German Bible versions Schlachter 1951 and Luther 1545 are now avaliable for download.
