This initial phase involves research to ensure a translation is needed and will be well-received. It's about understanding the language, its dialects, and how it's used in daily life.
For many languages, this is a critical step of creating a writing system (orthography), developing fonts, and building a foundational dictionary (lexicon). For oral and sign language traditions, this involves documenting the language's grammar and key terminology.
Before translation can begin, the team must have access to and a firm grasp of the source texts, biblical languages, and a wealth of scholarly resources.
This is the core of the translation work, where teams draft, review, and refine the Scriptures. Collaboration is key to ensuring a high-quality, trustworthy translation.
This stage involves a series of checks, including back-translation, comprehension testing with community members, and reviews by translation consultants to ensure the highest quality.
The final stage is not just about publishing; it's about ensuring the translation finds its home in the hearts and lives of the community. This involves creating print, audio, and digital editions and developing resources to encourage its use.
