I am a missionary in Tanzania, and I am trying to download the Swahili version of the Bible into my E-Sword program. So far I haven't had any success. It is a .bbl file. Anyone know how to do it. It would save me a lot of time in sermon prep if I could copy and paste.

The process depends on who made the module. Some have installation programs, some are simply zip files and some are just the full.bbl file.

All you have to do is get the .bbl file into the same directory that you have e-sword.

The only other thing that might be necessary, though e-sword should automatically show new files is to go to the Resources menu and check the box beside the translation's name so it is loaded when e-sword is started.

I would guess that you are downloading the file into a directory other than the e-sword or not putting it there once you have it.

If you put your e-sword program into a directory other than the default, many installation programs automatically put the module into the default e-sword directory so you have to change that when installing.

Anyway describe what you are doing.

Where are you getting the file, and in what form is it when you download?

Once you download it are you moving or installing it into the same directory as the e-sword program?

That should be all there is to it.

Live.e-sword.net is the online version of e-sword. From what you said, it sounds like you have the desktop version. If it's version 9, then the old .bbl files will not work. You will need the new module files. Does what you downloaded include the full notes?
