Translation process
AI-assisted
AI helps draft from original-language data, surface lexical options, compare syntax
possibilities, and support consistency checks. It is not running on autopilot: human
editors with Bible college and theological training curate wording, notes,
terminology, and release status.
Translator notes document major policy choices, including rendering YHWH as LORD in
Old Testament running text for English Bible continuity and New Testament Lord
continuity while footnotes disclose the underlying divine name.

v0.1
OSV Bible Draft v0.1 is an initial AI-assisted draft from the original languages
with minimal human curation. It is released for transparency, testing, comparison,

modern English Bible translation project with public revision history, transparent
translation notes, documented policy decisions, and ongoing community review.
