2) How to serve up the Bible in Arabic?

recently received permission to use two different translations of the Bible on their website.  Their original files are in Microsoft Word.  What’s the best way to index this information (all 1189 chapters and the thousands of verses)? In the end they’d like it to be both searchable (by scripture reference or word) and able to allow users to copy/paste. Any suggestions? If so, just comment below. And thanks in advance for any help you can give them. They’re hard at work trying to share and *be* good news for their nation.

    Have they tried asking the folks at BibleGateway.com? They already have a searchable Arabic Bible, so I presume they’ve got a pretty good idea how to do it.

    You might consider working with these guys with the Sword Project
    http://www.crosswire.org/index.jsp
    as they have developed some useful tools and this would be compatible with a larger system.

    Creating an E-sword Module would be a fantastic way to do this.
