Jehovah’s Will Brochure Pinyin Web Material for Lesson 25 Added

Jehovah’s Will brochure Pinyin web material for Lesson 25 has been added to:

The above resources now have the Pinyin for the front cover to Lesson 25 of the Jehovah’s Will brochure. Note that the full text in Pinyin of all the cited scriptures is included in the above resources.


Also, the introductions have been rewritten to more fully explain why it’s good to use Pinyin as a writing system on its own.


See the below post for an introduction to the above resources:

I plan to put out new material for the Jehovah’s Will brochure first on these new Pinyin web pages, because I can do that faster than I can make corresponding new 3-line material.


It seems like I should be able to put out at least one new Lesson on the Jehovah’s Will brochure Pinyin web pages before every Monday.

Jeremiah Bk. XLP-iPhone-A5 Size LN-A 3-Line Material for Ch. 10 Posted

3-line XLP-iPhone-A5 size files for Chapter 10 of the Jeremiah book are now available for download from the Jeremiah Book (3-Line, XLP-iPhone-A5, LN-A) page. The files have LN-A (LinkNav and annotation (notes & highlighting)) support, and they are available in Pinyin+Simp. Chinese and Sidney Lau+Trad. Chinese versions.


To help explain how the XLP-iPhone-A5 files may work well on a variety of mobile devices, the following paragraphs are included on the Jeremiah Book (3-Line, XLP-iPhone-A5, LN-A) page:

While the regular files use letter size as the paper size, these files named with “XLP-iPhone-A5” use A5 as the paper size, and are especially suited for use on devices such as the iPhone, the iPod touch, and other devices with similarly sized screens, such as Android phones. (See the 3-Line Material on the iPhone and the iPod touch page for instructions on how to use these files on an iPhone or an iPod touch.)

The XLP-iPhone-A5 files should also be a good fit on 6" (15.2 cm) screen Kindles and other similarly sized devices, as well as on tablets with 7" (17.8 cm) screens, as long as these devices have PDF support. (Note that landscape orientation may work best, as explained on the 3-Line Material on the iPhone and the iPod touch page.) Some may prefer to use these files on larger mobile devices like the Kindle DX or the iPad as well. (See the 3-Line Material on the iPad page for instructions on how to use these files on an iPad.)

Also, instructions are included re how to download the files on an iPhone or an iPod touch using GoodReader for iPhone, and how to download the files on an iPad using GoodReader for iPad.


The relevant folders at the 3lines.org site contain an HTML file (web page) with a link to the Jeremiah Book (3-Line, XLP-iPhone-A5, LN-A) page.

2013-04-04 Edition of Referenced Theo. Expressions Now Available

The Referenced Theo. Expressions files available for download have been updated. They are available for download from the Referenced Theo. Expressions (Chinese + Pinyin + English) Downloads and Referenced Theo. Expressions (Chinese + Cantonese Romanization + English) Downloads pages. These files are relatively extensive lists of theo. expressions as they have been found to be rendered in the Chinese publications. Versions sorted by English and versions sorted by romanization are both available.


The current edition is now dated 2013-04-04. It contains 18,750 / 18,752 entries and 9568 / 10,080 alternate headings, compared to the 17,648 entries and 9409 alternate headings that were in the previous edition. For the Mandarin RTE data, Pleco, Wenlin, ChinaScribe, DICT, StarDict (for ColorDict, etc.), and iSilo data files are now available in addition to the PDF files. (We have not been able to make the StarDict data files work with the StarDict program itself, but they may work with ColorDict and other programs that read the StarDict format.)


Here are some comments from the one who produces the RTE, regarding this update:

There's been another 1,000+ entries since last October (including some from new publications), plus a much-needed update to the Pleco instructions re Android.

...

PS: in the notes on the entry for "pray anytime", I've put the Chinese lyrics from the Become Jehovah's Friend video on jw.org (which they didn't publish in textual form); this transcription has been proofread by an HK sister.

Bookmarks have been added to the PDF files with “LN-A” (“Link Navigation-Annotation”) included in their filenames, and PDF annotation has been enabled on them as well. See the PDF Link Navigation page and the PDF Annotation (Notes & Highlighting) page for more information.


Note that Pleco is now available for iPhone / iPod Touch / iPad and for Android. The RTE Pleco Instructions file contains instructions for installing the RTE Pleco files in Pleco running on these devices.


As a reminder, note that the Referenced Theo. Expressions (Chinese + Pinyin + English) Web Lookup and Referenced Theo. Expressions (Chinese + Cantonese Romanization + English) Web Lookup pages are available as well. Rather than containing download links to the RTE data files, they each contain a web form that can be used to look up RTE information.


Thanks go out to the ones who helped to produce this set of resources.
