May I request the Traditional Chinese (i.e. Big 5) version of the bible? e.g. Chinese Union Version (CUV)?

Most of my church friends will support this endeavour if this is confirmed!

Many thanks for this great bible software!

Hello. May I have your kind response on this request? I believe this is a very valuable update in the future! If there is anything that I may help (e.g. beta testers, suggestions/comments), I'd be eager to help! Thanks and looking forward to hearing the good news on Chinese bible version!

Yes, we plan to offer this, but not until some time in January, probably.

Sorry, but we just don't know at this point.  We're still awaiting Apple's approval of our 4.0 software release.  Once that is approved, our production schedule for many other things will move along more quickly.

We hope to have a Chinese Bible out later this month, if everything goes well.

Thanks for your reply! I understand that it takes time for Apple to approve new updates to the program.... it has been the same problem for other applications too...! This affects your schedule and Chinese bible availability too. Sincerely hope that this will be approved quickly. Looking forward to the good news of Chinese bible support by Mantis!

We were aiming for January, but we're running behind on a few things now, so we're hoping to have it in February, 2008.

Nothing to report on this yet. We hope to see this in March, but it depends on how difficult the conversion is.

We could release the Chinese Union Traditional version later this week. Would that be helpful to you?

Oh I just find that I can download it on p.2 of the bible store! Sorry I am too excited to miss it out during my first try!

Now i downloaded it and used it! Great works! Love for it!

I am eagerly waiting for 4.0 or 4.1 to release out in bible store to get a even better UI!

You are awesome~

We have also released the Simplified version today, so now you can choose between Traditional or Simplified.

Thanks for the great work! It works fine...!

But the Search function does not give any results if I type Chinese word in the "Search" field. Any method to change this? Thanks.

We are working on an update that will allow all our non-English Bibles to be searched. Right now, you're right -- you can't search. We considered holding up the release of all these Bibles, but decided to go ahead and release them and then update searching later.
