Zulu Bible Format

Philani

I love everything with OpenLP, I only have one major issue. One of my churches speaks and reads Zulu.

How can I import a Zulu bible "Ibhayibheli Elingcwele" format?

Do you have the Bible in an electronic format that you can manipulate? If you already have the text, you can format it into a CSV and import that.

Also, are you using the 1959 version, or the 1997 version?

Thank you so much for getting back to me.

I have tried a couple of chapters that I personally converted to CSV but it fails to import. I went through the documentation to see if I'm missing something, but no.

Don't you know a website where I can get a zulu bible CSV format, 1959 version or 1997?

Hello,

I searched here https://ebible.org/find/ for Elingcwele

It suggests this Bible - https://ebible.org/find/details.php?id=nde

If that seems like the correct language, you can save the zip file to the right side of where it says "Crosswire Sword module" and import that in to OpenLP as a Sword module. See instructions for a different language here

If that does not work, you can try to use this software to convert the file you have into a suitable format (e.g. OSIS format or OpenLP SQLite format)
