Nearly all the work going on to translate and spread this book is going on in South East Asia and in India.\u00a0 A email today from Singapore stunned me by saying a lady there has translated this book into Chinese!\u00a0 I have never even met the person!!!\u00a0 Now i have to send that to the Chinese translator and verify that it is in fact OK.\u00a0 From what i can make out, it mostly looks good, but there is a mistake in the book title and chapter 32 title.\u00a0 Please pray that the Chinese language 1858 Great Controversy Between Christ and His Angels, and Satan and His Angels can be completed soon, so it can be spread widely among the Chinese reading population.<\/p>\n
Languages currently being translated:
\n1. Tibetan
\n2. Myanmar
\n3. Chinese
\n4. Thai
\n5. Romanian
\n6. Bhutanese
\n7. Mizo
\n8. French<\/p>\n
The languages above are listed in order of percentage completion.
\n1. The TIbetan book has been translated and proofread, and even printed!\u00a0 However, the printing had a big error, and the printer agreed to reprint without additional cost.\u00a0 So the funds have been sent, and just now waiting on the printer to reprint them correctly.<\/p>\n
2. The Myanmar edition has been completely translated and is currently undergoing proofreading.\u00a0 It has taken a big longer than expected, but is scheduled to be ready to print this summer.<\/p>\n
3. The Chinese edition – wow!\u00a0 One lady in Malaysia worked on it some, then her hard drive crashed and she lost it all, so i was just hoping that maybe it could be completed before the end of this year.\u00a0 But then today’s email from Singapore gives me hope that we can use this translation, and just proofread it, and maybe even get to the printer before year-end!\u00a0 Exciting \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
4. The Thai translation is going more slowly than hoped for, but the translator has put renewed effort into it recently, so i still hope it can get to the printer sometime this early fall.\u00a0 Last week i sat with the translator a bit, and it was fun to go thru the material together.\u00a0 Sure brought back memories of when i translated it myself into Japanese \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
5. A Romanian in Thailand is translating this book very carefully.\u00a0 He and the Thai translator are a husband-wife team.\u00a0 His questions about the nuances and which pronoun is referring to what really causes me to think deeply about each word – nice!<\/p>\n
6 & 7.\u00a0 Both language translations have been paid for, and are still in process in northern India.<\/p>\n
8. The French book is being translated by a missionary from Africa who is living in Bangkok.\u00a0 Does anyone know any French proofreaders?<\/p>\n
Please remember the various translation workers in your prayers, especially for the Thai-Romanian translator team.\u00a0 Living in Thailand now, and seeing the obstacles Satan has put up in keeping this book from the Thai people, has made me all the more determined to see that it does get done and spread here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
