First Time Visitor Notes

During the four days preceding September 11th, 2001 ending at 7 pm Sept. 10th, I believe the Lord gave me direction to organize the available online resources by language, one language per web page. He also directed me to translate the entire JesusIsLord.org into German. I have secured http://www.jesusislord.org/spreadingjesus/spreadingjesus.htm for this purpose. My hope is that once found, these pages can serve as pointers to newbies in Christ to trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. Also, these pages can immediately be used to witness to friends, associates, relatives, passersby on the street (pages are being reworked for cell phone display). I include the URL which can be copied into email and clicked by the recipient. Enjoy!

Wine Grapes in Livermore, California
The fields are ready for harvest, Jesus said. Let's bring the harvest in!

Some languages were chosen first due to being major languages or are the second languages of many people (their primary language not being widespread on the Internet). Look at Online Language Populations from Internet World Stats. (Please note that due to independent endeavors by major organizations, names of languages may differ slightly from one organization to another.) Be assured, if a language exists and I can find resources for it, those resources will be posted to the language pages. (Summer 2009 is a major update time for these pages.) Perhaps you can help! Please note the Read Me page and the HELP page on the upper right of this page can shed light on why the pages are the way they are.

Top 20 Internet Countries

While I can rejoice that as of Thanksgiving Day 2003 (November 27) this page represents 90.2% of the languages of the Internet, this is still small compared to the number of languages of the world. God never said bring two of any animal that is convenient to catch into the Ark. He directed Noah to bring two of every animal onto the Ark (Genesis 7:1-5, 9 AMP). So too we must open up the path to God in every tongue any person speaks.

Also, many people on the Internet must communicate in a language that is not their mother tongue. While this may work for algebra, it is not the most direct way to the innermost being of a person. I read about research being done to allow all languages to flow on the World Wide Web as freely as English does now. I say, "Get ready for this day; it's coming! Look ahead now and make decisions based on it. When it happens you will be ready to move in."

The current simple method of getting languages online is to scan as a black and white "line drawing" handwritten pages. These can be saved as .gif files. You can experiment with the density of data (by percentage) saved in the scan. You want it to be read clearly but with the smallest file to achieve that. These scans make a page load more slowly than if software for a font or script were used, but I think someone would gladly wait if that were their language and it was something they wanted to read. And if this is the only way open, I'll use it rather than not be able to communicate. While the search engines can't read the text or catalog it so that it can be found by entering a search in a search engine, neither can the page be easily blocked due to content by an entity wanting to filter out the message. For an example of this, look at the Amharic page.

PDF files seem to be the next step up in presentation of languages and they can be slow to open but there are thumbnails to mark divisions in the text. Someone has gone to a lot of trouble to enable you to read something in a language almost without obstruction. I say "almost" because you can still get an error message that the font is not loaded when you open the file. Of course, you need Adobe software loaded on your PC. There exists now software that allows PDF files to be edited.

The next step up is to either have the language font loaded on your PC or have the web page load the font into your PC's memory at the time the page is loading. There are a few lines of code that you insert into the html code before the page coding begins. This should prevent your loading a page with Chinese, for instance, and finding all squares or squiggles that are not Chinese.

Copied from PC Magazine, October 28, 2003...

Sorry, I don't know how to make this show as text because it's html code but if you will click on your task bar at the top of your screen View (click) Source (click) and scroll down through the page about 3/4 of the way, you should see the STYLE command and be able to copy it down. Do not copy the br enclosed by <> at the end of each line! If the last upload of this page was done by me, it should be clear. In that case click on Edit, click on Find, and type in STYLE. This will take you to it.

The highest step up is the one where there is some kind of character recognition of a language which is somehow encoded into universal characters. I'm making this up now but I'm a good guesser. There are 261 characters in Amharic and 26 in English. Somehow these must travel the Internet in some common-denominator code and be assembled at the destination in the desired language. It would be like a VPN (virtual private network) for each language but the path would be shared. Get ready for that day! If you are a language speaker, be faithful to the Lord today and prepare and learn. Get some educational skills! If you are blessed with helping, get ready to help the language speakers be released to their task. If you are a dreamer or a visionary, listen to the Lord and do exactly what he tells you to do even if no one understands you. You can join Noah and others who did what they were told and are now highly regarded, but were questioned at the time.

Technology Review Magazine from MIT, September 2003 (page 28) says what I was struggling to say above. Multiple fonts previously constructed for one language are not standardized so communication among the existing fonts for the same language (Vietnamese, for example) is not reliable. In addition to that, only 52 scripts have been encoded so far leaving out many languages. The University of California, Berkeley, is attempting to add another 100 scripts using Unicode. Unicode assigns a unique ID number to characters, symbols, and punctuation in each language so what seems strange and difficult to us can be handled with ease by computers. This is being accomplished by recruiting and funding linguists and users of the various scripts. This is an interesting time in history to step up to the plate if you are a language speaker.

All we need is one person who knows a language fluently to use the end product (the Unicode script or font in their language. On the one hand, some of these languages may not represent many computers or fast computers in the places where the language is spoken. On the other hand, it is not uncommon to go to a computer center and use a computer for $1/hour in places we once thought remote. Once a person with the means to spread the Gospel comes to Christ and a prayer is uttered to the Lord to help that new believer reach his or her fellows, we can see mini-pockets of people coming to Christ. They can ask for help via the Internet, and we who can easily help with some sacrifice and intention and follow-through, can move in and provide what is needed. I have full confidence that the Holy Spirit can join us together one by one by one by one where anyone who wants to jump in can. You may have thought you were isolated and without help, but now you have help. You may have thought God had no assignment for you, but now you are busy all the time, amazed that this is you and you're doing it, you're helping to complete the Great Commission (Mark 16:15 AMP)

In December of 2003 I received The Worldwide Projects Fund Report from Wycliffe Bible Translators. The title is "What Language Does Your Computer Speak?" The question is, "How do you type a complex language like Burmese, when there are no computer fonts to represent its characters?" Some languages are written in blocks rather than lines and some letters change shape depending where they appear in a word. 1000 complex-script languages do not have the printed Word of God in their heart language. The progress in correcting this is 1 or 2 languages per year. Wycliffe has launched the "Non-Roman Script Initiative" to speed things up and has the respect of the computer industry. I'm not sure what this means but they have developed the first-ever comprehensive Latin-based Unicode font named Doulos SIL scheduled to be released mid-2004. The font, while it can be used for multimedia projects, web pages, and email, will be used to achieve Vision 2025, the Bible in every language group that needs one, by 2025. You can find the link by typing in Non Roman Script Initiative into Google.com's search bar.
