Thanks for the program which looks good.
I am working in France and have been using Bible+ on Palm OS for many years. Just updating to Android I cannot find many modern French translations available. I have them on the Online-Bible and have been able to transfer them to Palm through an Open Source programme. Is there any way to do the same thing with VirtueBible ? Or will you be including other translations in the near future (Particularly "Parole de Vie", "Parole Vivante", "Bible en Français Courant" and "Bible du Semeur" ?
Many thanks

If those translations are not copyrighted, we might make it available for use with VirtueBible if the source texts are also available.
Cheers.

These translations ARE copyrighted as they are recent ones. But they are so much easier to understand for the average French-man that I will not revert to Louis Segond (LSG) even if it's free !
These translations, and many more in French, are available in the paid version of the Online Bible (from which I was able to convert them for my Palm). The Bible du Semeur, for example, in book form is available as from 4€ ($5). I would be more than willing to pay this for each digital version.
Any hope ??
Many thanks !

Hello again,
Sorry to see no reply to my last remark.
I have downloaded VirtueBible to my HTC Desire and find it one of the best Bible Readers for Android at the moment. I would love to make it my every day reader. But I do not use old translations apart from for study. Having the Bible on a mobile device is in order to share with others (and also for pleasant private reading).
At the moment I am using "LiveBible" which has the "Bible du Semeur" available as a free download from BibleGateway (nearest French equivalent to NIV). But I would love to go back to "Parole de Vie" that I had on my Palm, or "Bible en Français Courant", both of which are available for iPhone. Is there any way of converting these digital Bibles to VirtueBible format ? It is such a shame not to be able to make the most of your Bible Reader in modern French.
Yours,
Christophe
