Hi,

I'd like to create new Bible translation for quick bible. Where can I
found "yes" file format?
Or is there any converter?
I can prepare any input file format.

Regards

Hi Artur,

The .yes file format is documented as attached, although it's not very comprehensive. If you're willing to try it, you can try creating the file by yourself, and you can ask me for things that are unclear or ambiguous. 

Alternatively, you can send me the Bible text in file formats like the one used in bibledatabase.org, which is one verse per line, and each line is:

<counter> <tab> <book number> <tab> <chapter number> <tab> <verse number> <tab> <verse text>

1   1   1   1   In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2   1   1   2   The earth is empty, ...

and so on.

Regards,
Yuku

Do you have converter from "bibledatabse.org" format to yes format?
Or could you implement converter in QuickBible, or could you create
android app (converter)?

I'm using linux, but if you have converter for windows.. it would be fine.

Everything is now converted from yet file (this is a text file)

The description of the yet file is at

And you can convert the yet file to yes file by using YetToYes2.jar

Alternatively there is an online pdb to yet/yes file converter, at

I tried to convert the epub version http://www.sermon-online.de/search.pl?lang=de&id=30483 of Martin buber jewish old Testament translation to pdb.
I could download it and tried to import it to quick bible. But it quotes it as unsupported format. 🐺. TEXt
Can someone help please?
Ralf
