Prepare a Bible translation for Lamplighter

Step by step

1. Choose a starting point.

   Start with the edition template or create a new-language skeleton. If you already have a translation, the conversion guide covers referenced or unnumbered verse lines, Word documents, USFM, USX, OSIS, and installed SWORD Bible modules. Review the supported subset for your source format before converting.

2. Keep the text and numbering faithful.

   The edition is a JSON file containing books, chapters, verses, and text. Preserve verse numbers, Unicode text, and any intentional gaps. Keep the edition’s license and required attribution. Set the text direction for a language written right to left.

3. Convert, validate, and review.

   Follow the conversion guide for your input format, inspect its conversion report, then run the formats lint command on the resulting edition. Review representative chapters against the source. A successful format check does not verify translation accuracy or permission to distribute the text.

4. Import a copy into the protected library.

   Keep a separate master copy of your source. In a protected reader, open the library and choose Import version or Import commentary. Other supported reference-resource JSON uses Settings → Library → Import reference JSON. Select a working copy. If the game appears while the file picker is open, unlock again to finish. The encrypted copy is verified before the app attempts to remove the selected original.

5. Check the result and any remaining source file.

   Read the import status. Native import removes the exact selected original only when it can verify and remove it safely. A browser cannot delete that source: after checking the imported resource, remove the extra file in your file manager. Check names, verse order, language display, and attribution before sharing. Deletion is not forensic erasure.
