| 1.2. | The translations are missing! |
Please install the package bibletime-i18n which contains the translations of the daily tips, the handbook, the installation instructions and the Bible study howto. | |
2. Usage problems | |
| 2.1. | Is it possible to search for a specific Strong number? |
Using BibleTime 1.1 - 1.4.x.
You need at least BibleTime 1.1 for this. Turn on the default usage of Strong's numbers in the optionsdialog (Sword->Filter settings). Then open the seachdialog and search for <0120> or any other Strong code. Using BibleTime 1.5 or later.
The search interface now offers to set the type of your search. You can choose between headings, footnotes, Strongs numbers and morphological numbers. | |
| 2.2. | Why do I see only question marks instead of Unicode text? |
First make sure you have the latest version of the module which has the problems! Check www.crosswire.org/sword for this. You have to install an unicode font like Code2000, Arial Unicode MS or Bitstream Cyberbit to display the special unicode characters. Check the section "Configuring BibleTime->Options Dialog->Fonts" in the handbook of BibleTime how to setup Unicode fonts under Linux. | |
3. Modules | |
| 3.1. | The KJV shows no Strong numbers in the NT |
You're probably using an outdated version of the KJV module. Please update the module. | |
| 3.2. | Where can I write down my personal notes? |
You have to install the module "Personal", which is available as a commentary on Crosswire. Please refer to BibleTime's handbook for more information about the personal commentary. | |
| 3.3. | Why is one of the two testaments of a Bible module empty? |
Some modules only contain the text of the old or new testament. Recent versions of BibleTime should only offer the testament which has some content in it. | |
4. Translations | |
| 4.1. | Is BibleTime available in my native language? |
BibleTime is available in several languages, which are all listed on our translations page. The translations are available in the package bibletime-i18n. If a translation into your language is not available, please consider to help to make it available. More information is available on out translations page.. | |
