This was really kind of you, thank you so much! It will make organizing my presentations so much easier! They pop up instantly on the plugin window on my Android phone. Having posts or pre-min will be so much easier. Can’t wait to show it to my friends tomorrow!

Not a problem, it was fun to have a reason to enhance the plugin. I expect a few issues with some references. If you spot anything please let me know.

Absolutely. I took 4 or 5 random scriptures and they all matched. Luke, Matthew and Proverbs all checked. Will use it more extensively the oncoming weeks during the campaign. Will let you know if some are off!

Hi AJV. There is an ios app for Joplin. The android version works and allows the plugin to work also. Have you tried it with the ios Joplin app? [Joplin on the App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/joplin/id1315599797)

The next release has been published and includes Spanish. While Spanish is on my list of languages I’d love to speak, unfortunately, it’s not one I know, so I can’t be certain about the results.

The language is set in the plugin settings under options.

A few things to keep in mind:

Watch for words that may have been accidentally combined during the JSON building process.

Consider common abbreviations that might be used. I’ve tried to include a variety, but let me know if there are any others I should add.

Let me know if you notice any other issues.

Thank you very much. You've done a great job.  
Some of the references aren't working, such as Rev 1:1 or Apo 1:1. Ag 1:1 o Can 1:1 . I try to follow the naming conventions used by JW Library.  
I'll test it more thoroughly and let you know. Thanks again.

Hi Jimtr83. The links for Ageo, Cantar de los Cantares, and Revelación are not working. In Index.js, you have Apocalipsis listed as "Revelación," Ageo as "Hageo," and Cantar de los cantares as Cantar de los cantares. And in “Bible\_Es.json Apocalipsis as Apocalipsis, Ageo as Ageo, and Cantar de los Cantares as El Cantar de los Cantares.

I think it’s possible that this is an error.

Hello there,  
Would it be possible to add the German NWT to the plugin?

We would like to switch to Joplin for notes with some brothers.

Hi all,

apologies for being radio silent for a few months. Its been a pretty busy time but I am back.

@Javi Could you provide a list of common abbreviations please and I’ll get those added.

@Elspag could you do the same for Portuguese please

@JPirch could you do likewise for German.

Provide these in a csv file or excel sheet with a format abbreviation, full reference. For example in English I have entries like:

Ge, Genesis  
Gen, Genesis  
Genesis, Genesis

In the meantime, I’ll work on porting in the epubs for these languages.

Thanks
