I have recently converted 75 Bible versions into xmm (opensong format). All you need to do is download and import file, choose opensong option, fill in the name and copyright - its that simple.
Have you secured copyright permission on these versions? Most translations of the bible are copyright, so unless you have secured permission, then the file is technically in violation of copyright.
I'd be glad to help the openlp project in any way I can.
I have a question for those who are familiar with copyright law. Some of the translations I have checked are copyrighted but listed under "free download" by e-SWORD while others are for sale - can I group the "free download" copies as public domain files?
Generally no, but it doesn't mean the end of the story, you have two options,
1) You can include a link document where someone can click the link in their browser and go to e-SWORD to get a copy.
2) You can contact the original publisher to seek permission to copy, yourself. Some are easy to secure, some are not. Generally though if e-SWORD has it as a free download, it's probably easier rather then harder.
Hi All, Please how do I get my local language Bible into OpenLP. Found one at www.bible.com and on VideoPsalm but cannot break to line or transparent background.

And those which are not copyrighted you could submit to support [a] openlp.org or add them to http://www.wiki.openlp.org/Sample_Data#Bibles
Then we can include them in the First Time Wizard
