For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son,

that all who believe in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

— John 3:16

SWORD Module Generation

Generate SWORD/CrossWire Bible modules from our translated gloss data for use in Bible study applications.

Translation Philosophy

Our modules are READER'S VERSION WORD-FOR-WORD GLOSSES:

  1. Word-for-word correspondence: Each Greek/Hebrew word receives a gloss in the target language
  2. Original language word order: Glosses follow Hebrew/Greek word order, NOT natural target language order
  3. Study aid, not replacement: Designed to help readers engage with original biblical languages
  4. Not natural sentences: The output intentionally preserves original structure

Example (John 3:16 in Spanish)

Greek Gloss
Οὕτως Así
γὰρ pues
ἠγάπησεν amó
ὁ θεὸς el Dios
τὸν κόσμον el mundo

This preserves Greek word order, not natural Spanish ("Porque Dios amó tanto al mundo...").

Required Disclaimers

ALL modules MUST include these disclaimers:

  • "MACHINE TRANSLATED - PROVISIONAL - NOT AUTHORITATIVE"
  • In both English AND the target language
  • In the Description, About, and DistributionNotes fields
  • Version should be "0.1-PROVISIONAL"

Module Types

Interlinear Modules (e.g., GBTIntSpa, GBTIntHin)

Display Greek/Hebrew text with embedded:

  • Glosses: Target language translations in the gloss attribute
  • Strong's Numbers: H (Hebrew) and G (Greek) references
  • Morphology: Grammar codes
<w gloss="amó" lemma="strong:G0025" morph="robinson:V-AIA-3S">ἠγάπησεν</w>

Bible Modules (e.g., GBTSPA, HinGBT)

Plain text word-for-word translations following original word order.

Generation Workflow

  1. Export translations from PostgreSQL via generate-sword-module-chirho.ts
  2. Generate OSIS XML with word-level markup
  3. Run osis2mod to create SWORD module
  4. Package as .zip
  5. Create/update .conf file
  6. Add to sword-repo-chirho/raw/ and sword-repo-chirho/mods.d/
  7. Regenerate mods.d.tar.gz
  8. Commit and push to GitHub

Note on Module Names

SWORD module names (like GBTIntSpa, HinGBT) are external identifiers that must follow CrossWire/SWORD conventions. These are not suffixed with -chirho because they must work with external SWORD applications (Xiphos, BibleTime, AndBible). The Chirho suffix applies to identifiers we create and control, not external protocol/format identifiers.
