How do you translate a Bible?
Watch the process of Bible translation work below.
Watch the process of Bible translation work below.
It starts with the identification of a need for a new translation project by the local church community.
Then, the translation team identifies the most needed sections of Scripture and the most appropriate media for distribution.
Next, the team looks for organizations and individuals who are willing to help, and develops a project plan, schedule, budget, and training regimen.
The translation process then begins, with translators analyzing each verse and putting it into the local language. The translation is tested by reading it in the community to make sure the meaning is clear, and then reviewed by a Bible translation expert from outside the community.
Finally, the translators proof the translation before publication. Once completed, the translation team celebrates the dedication of new scripture and evaluates the project’s impact.
