[edit] Catholic/Non-Protestant-specific Bibles
Here is a website with some information on pre-Protestant bible work in china: http://www.inst.at/trans/16Nr/09_4/dong-sheng16.htm --ElCuervitoAzul (talk) 21:31, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Is there a reason why this page (Chinese Bible Translations) contains no information on Catholic/Non-Protestant-specific Chinese Bibles? Thank you --131.238.108.230 21:23, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Hello, Do you have any info that could be added? The history does detail some early attempts by the Jesuits in translation. But since publishing the Scriptures in Chinese was not a high priority, the main bulk of the history falls into the Protestant realm. The main article Bible translations seems to indicate that there were some traslations eventually published in the middle of the twentieth century by the Roman church.Brian0324 17:45, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Jean Basset (1662-1707) and Joachim Enjobert de Martiliat (1706-1755), French missionaries of the Société des Missions Ėtrangères de Paris, translated but did not publish parts of the New Testament. Robert Morrison drew upon their manuscripts in their translation.Entenman 20:16, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Page Move
"Translations" is not a proper noun, so I believe it should be moved according to Wikipedia naming conventions. If no one objects, I will move it soon.--Danaman5 17:58, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Where will you move it to? I do not understand why "Translations" is not a proper noun. Awb49 12:01, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] NET Chinese
It's a little unclear from their website, are the NET Bible folks translating a Chinese Version?--Alfredie (talk) 06:03, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Titles
This article needs to conform to one style regarding titles. We have Dr., Rev., Rev. Dr., etc... What are the criteria used to apply titles?--Scotchorama (talk) 09:00, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Hakka
I have read a New Testament translation into Hakka published by the Bible Society in Taiwan in the 1990s [1]. – Kaihsu (talk) 16:42, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
