Hello every.
How are you?
I would like to ask one question?
Is there any way that I define translation priorities with verse?
For example, I want to translate Luke chapter 1, verse 1-10, and chapter 2 verse 8-4
I really hope some one will help me.
Thank you?

I can imagine support for verse-level priorities might be so complicated as to offset the benefits. But it seems to me that our project would benefit from this, too, because in the OT we have partial chapters as part of this project phase, and we imagine that in 10 years we’ll come back and fill in the gaps. When we come back, some of those gaps (the parts of chapters currently omitted) will be checked off as already done, because we can only work with chapter-size chunks in the Project Plan.

This feature only works on the book and chapter level.

What do you mean Chapter level, sir?

You cannot define translation priorities on a verse level (verse-by-verse). You can only define translation priorities by chapter and/or book.

So for your example, you could set a priority to translate Luke chapters 1-2, but not specifically to translate Luke 1:1-10 and Luke 2:8-14.

Thank you so much for your response.
God bless you.
