Summary: Bibledit Keyterms and NT names facility for vernacular input

Initial Comment:
Hi Teus

I was wondering in bibledit in the tab area for key terms can the translator 
type in the word that they have chosen in their language for that key term in 
their own script. People in India have made a data base where the key terms 
and NT Names run in two different windows to the window where the translation 
is typed in Toolbox. The key terms and NT Names are sorted by verses and 
books so that whatever verse you are translating in a certain book the key 
term and NT names appears showing you what you have used earlier in your 
translation. It helps us to be consistent in our use of key terms and 
spelling or to improve upon them. 

Is there such a facility in Bibledit and if not could it be put in there for 
the future editions. 

If these two features were available or will be available it would encourage 
me to invest my time in portting across our files from Toolbox to Bibledit. 

May be you have some suggestions for me. Is there a tutorial pdf file or 
manual for bibledit which I could download. I don't have broadband connection 
where I am and dial up is poor to connect to a help page on the internet.

I would like to move away from Toolbox since there are many problems with it 
when it is running in Wine in Linux. 

If these

Hi Steve,

If I understand your feature request correctly, then it appears to me that
there is a need for these two things:

1. The user can type in the word that they have chosen in their language
for that particular keyterm. If he types that word, the keyterms comes up,
just like now it comes up when the english word is typed.

2. When translating, and going to a certain verse, the user wishes to see
all of the keyterms found in that verse, and what word they have chosen for
it in their own language.

Is this correct?

Bibledit does not now have this feature. The only thing related to what
you write is that if the keyterms is typed in English, and then chosen from
the list, all places where it has been translated turn up. That could help
your translators a lot, only that they would need to remember which English
word is used.

Teus
