Word-level alignments for Bibles, including both automatic alignments and manually corrected alignments.

Alignments

This repository contains word alignments for Bibles, including both automatic alignments and manually corrected alignments. It is meant to serve two goals:

1. Developers need a way to obtain the best available alignments for a given language or translation. We want to collect the best alignments we can find here and provide a way to find needed alignments and track development of alignment.
2. The Scripture Burrito Working Group is creating a Scripture Alignments flavor, which will be a standard for exchanging alignment data. This repository reflects a working proposal, and as the standard develops, the data in this repository will be used to ensure that the standard is adequate.

Alignment data is provided by various parties, who own the copyright to their alignments. All alignment data is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.

Contributing Alignments

We're interested in collecting alignments that are useful for the Bible translation community, especially those based on openly-licensed texts. If you have alignments to contribute, see Contributing.
