New Feature: Picture Links

Picture links have begun to be added to the Pīnyīn & Pīnyīn/Sidney Lau-English web & EPUB resources. These picture links will send users of these resources to where the indicated official pictures and diagrams appear on the pages of jw.org and the WOL.

Here is an example of a picture link:

• [Dì 8 hé 9 yè de túpiàn (jw.org)]

Note that:

• The picture link directs users to where the image is displayed on the official website. It does not display the official image as if it was part of the unofficial resource the directing link is a part of.
• On jw.org and the WOL, clicking or tapping on a picture or diagram pops up an enlarged display of it.
• The picture link tells users how the picture should be referred to in Mandarin/Cantonese. In the above example, the picture link tells publishers that they can direct a Bible student’s attention to this picture by saying, “Qǐng kàn dì 8 hé 9 yè de túpiàn.” (“Qǐng kàn” is probably one of the first Mandarin expressions learned by those learning Mandarin for the Mandarin field, and the link provides the rest of the Mandarin words needed in this case.)

The first resources to be upgraded with these new picture links are:

• Bible Teach Bk.
   (Pīnyīn, Web, Scriptures)
   (proofread, mobile-friendly, picture links,
   device to landscape ▶ large print)
• Bible Teach Bk.
   (Pīnyīn, Web, Scriptures, Night Theme)
   (proofread, mobile-friendly, picture links,
   black background, grey text,
   device to landscape ▶ large print)
• (Short link: tiandi.info/bh)

I hope to be able to add these new picture links to other resources as well going forward.
