Translation Integration Details
Integrating multiple translations can sometimes present some interesting challenges regarding how each translation elected to include or exclude, merge or split up verse content. What follows are details of such translational differences, followed by how QuizSage integrates these translations.
Content Differences
Translations include or exclude verse content in 1 of 4 ways:
- Included = Content exists as a standard text
- Bracketed = Content exists inline wrapped in brackets or otherwise marked as non-standard
- A postfixed asterisk indicates the bracketing begins in the prior verse
- Noted = Content exists in a footnote
- Omitted = Content not included (but omission may be noted)
The following table uses the above definitions to describe how each translation differs from the others:
