6. Some Technical Possibilities

A. User Interface in Other Languages

The BIBLIJA.net program is developed in a way that allows the user interface (i.e. the commands, field labels, function names etc.) to be easily translated to other languages. When you start accessing its web-page the program reads the language setting of your browser (in MS Internet Explorer under Tools .../Languages ...) and chooses the appropriate user interface language. If you are accessing the Internet from within Slovenia, the program overrides the above setting and chooses Slovene interface as the default.

If you want to change the interface language later, click on the flag on the selection panel (ex. Slovenski vmesnik or English interface ).

With each interface language the program offers a different set of Bible versions – one that suits the basic needs of that language (see “4.A. Parallel Display of a Place Search – Wider or Narrower Set of Versions”). It also changes the order of the versions, so that those more useful for the selected language appear earlier and others later. The first version is the default version. The choice of the interface language therefore determines the current “language environment”.

B. Accessing a Particular Passage with a Hyperlink

The BIBLIJA.net program allows you to access a Scripture passage with a hyperlink from elsewhere, for example from within your own HTML document or from your “Favorites” list of hyperlinks.

B. 1. Manual Determining and Inserting of a Hyperlink

First find a desired passage (refer to “1. Place Search” and elsewhere).
Click into the field in your browser, where the URL address is displayed (usually labeled “Address:”), so that the contents of that field becomes selected (usually in a dark blue color).
Using the keyboard shortcut CTRL+C or the command “Copy” (in the “Edit” menu), copy the contents of the entire address line into the clipboard.
Using the keyboard shortcut CTRL+V or the command “Paste” (in the “Edit” menu), insert the address as the destination of the hyperlink in your HTML document or your shortcut.
For the Scripture Mt 5:44 the address line is as follows: https://www.biblija.net/biblija.cgi?m=Mat+5%3A44&id25=1&pos=0&set=20&lang=en3. In most browsers you can enter just https://www.biblija.net/biblija.cgi?m=Mt+5:44. Instead of Mt+5:44 you can, of course, enter any passage of your choice.

B. 2. Automatic Replacement of References with Hyperlinks on Your Entire Web-Page

If your web-page contains many Scriptural references (ex. Mt 5:44 and elsewhere Jn 3:15 and yet elsewhere Mr 3:21 etc.), you can change them into hyperlinks all at once. Those hyperlinks will point to a web-page which will display this Scripture text – the text of your web-page will stay intact, the program will only convert each Bible reference to a hyperlink on which the reader will be able click and receive the display of this passage in Scripture. You have to do this:

Click on the [ Webmasters ] hyperlink, found at the bottom of the page.
Enter the exact URL address of your web-page (HTML document) and click the “Go!” button.
The program will display the new source code of your document in a new window. On the top it will also notify you, how many Bible references were found.
