Achieving consistency (3.1b)
In this video we are going to look at some additional ways that the Biblical Terms Tool can help us achieve a consistent translation.
Set the verse filter
- Click the verses filter and select Choose.
The Choose dialog box opens. - Click the Books tab.
- Click New Testament.
- All the books in the New Testament are now selected.
- Click [OK].
Find a biblical term
- Click in the Find box.
- Type the text to find.
To correct a typo
- Click on the term
- Click the Edit hyperlink.
- Edit the text in this small window.
- Click OK to save the changes.
- Paratext now recognises the rendering.
Approve a wording even though different
- Click on the red X.
- This tells Paratext that the wording is appropriate in this context even though there is not a specific, explicit rendering.
Add a note to remind to discuss this rendering
- Double-click the first column next to the term.
- A note window opens
- Type the note…
- Click [OK].
Add another rendering
- Select the text
- Click Add Rendering.
- The new rendering is added to the row in the Biblical Terms table.
Change a synonym
For consistency’s sake we should change it.
- Click the Edit hyperlink.
- Change the word.
- Click OK.
Found column
When all occurrences of the biblical term have an identified rendering a tick is shown in the found column.
When the symbol in the Found column includes a tiny X it is to remind us that one of the renderings is a permitted omission of a rendering.
