Show changes/differences betweeen similar bible translations

Post by x×bsw »

Feature request for e.g.
  if 2 modules older/newer
option to show/view info about
about which verses updated/changed without
having to download/activate the older version
(also if older not available/'obselete')
(including footnote info)

or very similar translations
could diff them or copy other translation metadata
esp for verses that are otherwise verbatim identical


thanks :)

This is an interesting suggestion that should probably be outside theWord itself.
Currently the udpates are not known until you get the module. The truth though it that changes are usually fixes and one always wants to have the latest version

also if could show the  amount of
or type of difference e.g.
simple word change,  addition of [but|and|because|for|…] or other words,   punctuation  or reordering

or applying certain new/old diff's you choose of one translation to another
if you have both and  the 'old-version' translations match

e.g. applying diff:(esv2011 - kjv) to niv2
 or  (niv2 - niv) to esv2011


also if could choose the partition type (criteria for old verses match)
verses, sentences, punctuation separate if verses if too broad (so more candidates)

and what type of differences to apply
