I'm testing an extension enabling threaded discussions on the talk pages. Also, what would you think about me bulk changing the name "Jehovah" in the scripture text to "YHWH"? This would seem to be a more common, modern usage. What are your thoughts?

Cool! Notes on the feature: the text in your message is white on white, and the reply button takes a few clicks to work, but other than that this is really cool!

As for bulk-changing Jehovah to YHWH, I'm ok with it on principle, but I wouldn't want to give the impression that we're modifying these translations. I'm worried it could hurt our credibility if we don't just present them as-is. What do you think about that? Am I worried for nothing?

I think I fixed the background now. Let me know if there's still a problem.

On the YHWH thing, I already did the bulk change on the WEB which we started with (under the new database system), but I won't change any other translations. I don't see it as anything other than an orthographic change, because the letters mean the same thing.

Speaking of other translations, which translations should I add next?

Ah, looks much better!

Yeah, I suppose that isn't a problem about the YHWH thing. Honestly I've always wanted a translation that kept that plain.

I think that any open source translation is a good addition. We might-as-well get the KJV in here. Having added maybe one or two more translations, I think it would be a good idea to work in some options to choose which translation is being viewed.

I'll add the KJV next and maybe a Spanish one after that. Then work on a UI feature to select your preferred translation.

Awesome! I think a Spanish Translation will be a great addition. I'll look into some other language translations too.
