Public Domain Greek Glosses
Although I do have the technical skills to create Greek flashcards and Greek readers, and I have some ability to expand free/public domains resources to be available in Chinese. I would love to see genuinely free high quality language resources available in more languages.
Do you know someone who might be able to help expand our free Flashcards and Greek Reader popup tools into other languages? I don't mind if it is a small remote language, or a large popular language. If there is a way to support translation work or Biblical Greek competency in the church in general, I would love to be able to talk to you about pulling together a gloss dataset. (Not just for biblicaltext.com but genuinely free data sets that can be used by any/all websites or apps, available on GitHub with CC0.)

Hi Jay,
Thank you for your concern for Biblical Language learning in Chinese and other languages. I am humbled by the intellectual development in the Chinese un/believing communities as I just returned back to Hong Kong, my home place after 20 some years serving in different places. My fear is that the nations are coming together to rebuild the tower of Babel and against the Anointed One. I got the mdb data of Biblical Hebrew resources from someone else and there is not lack of resources to learning Biblical Hebrew and different things for Bible Translation in Chinese comparing with many other non-European languages. BTW, I think it is not that difficult to get answer of BT and convert or translate, the gloss and other resources from English into Chinese with chat-gpt, google translate or other similar tool. I think the bottleneck of the Chinese and other Christian community is about the implementing the Biblical instruction, e.g. the Great Commandment, love God, those around you, others and even your enemies. I am humbled again and thankful to see some of the Chinese believers are living out that with cuffs on their hands.
From Chat-gpt:
As an AI language model, I do not have access to the public domain resources. However, you can check out websites like Bible Hub or Bible Study Tools which have Chinese glosses of biblical Hebrew and biblical Greek, along with other translations and resources.
I would add to chat-gpt:

I have been asking the question why don't the Chinese believing communities share resources for Biblical studies in public domain. I think quite possibly they have been sharing resources in their own way in some free domain that I am not aware of, but they may also need to have kind of support or donation. BTW, why do you just work on Greek, but not both Greek and Hebrew.
Let's chat more in person sometime, somewhere, somehow.
