Why are swahili glosses of Biblical terms missing on some computers (PT 9.5)

Question

I have PT 9.5 installed and therefore can chose from a variety of languages glosses, including Swahili, in the Biblical terms tool and in the equivalents pane. Two computers used in a project I work with also have 9.5 but can only display French glosses. It's the same version of 9.5 so why the difference and how do they get the extra language glosses to appear?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Are all of the computers using the same Windows language and region settings? I have seen at least one situation where when a regional setting (and it might only be the number setting of that region) affected the way a window appeared in Paratext.

Thank you. I had to wait to have access to the project computers and somehow in the intervening week the required glosseshave appeared! Perhaps it is related to the region setting and the fact the clocks changed in Europe last weekend, changed something. Sounds odd. Or it was just random. I have left the computers set as they are since things are now working. We'll see if the glosses disappear in the spring.

Answer 2

Are you asking about the Paratext interface language, or the glosses in the Biblical Terms tool?
If you are looking for Swahili glosses for Biblical Terms, this can depend on the actual Biblical Terms list being used. Different lists will be glossed in different languages. SIL Tanzania has adapted a Biblical Term list that uses Swahili glosses. If you're interested in this, feel free to contact me.

Answer 3

If you're talking about the new feature in 9.5 to show additional glossing columns in the BT tool, then that data comes from the Enhanced Resources. So each user needs at least one ER downloaded to see the new glossing columns.
Note that it doesn't matter what language of ER is downloaded, the column data comes from the dictionaries which include all languages when downloaded.
