King James and ASL Bible

This is based on a translation done by Pastor Ron Dettloff of The Shores Church.

He has been working on these translations for quite a while and has kindly given permission for me to use and distribute them.

The translations are his, but I did find that there is often more than one translation available and I may have selected the lesser one. In a phone conversation with him he described these translations as “not full ASL” which, I believe means that this is more along the lines of contact signing.

The English text is from Project Gutenberg.

Some Ugly Technical Details

My automated run at this was done early 2021.

I had downloaded the translation and KJV text and wrote a series of programs (which I have deleted and will not be sharing) which cleaned, sorted, mixed, and attempted to format the text into separate pdf files for each book.

It started with something like:
01:001:001 In the beginning God created the heav…
<text>M508x515S10000493x485 M522x545S14c48479x51…
<term><![CDATA[Genesis 1:1]]</term>

And turned it into:
\begin{center}
\enubox{\bf Chapter 1}
M517x530S15a48484x471S16d40499x475S22b04501x500 M508x515S10000493x485
\end{center}

\enubox{1 In the beginning God created the heave…
M508x515S10000493x485 M522x545S14c48479x51…

These files are available on github.

After that I used fswtotex and xelatex as follows:

          fswtotex --fsize signsize GEN.fsw.tex GEN.tex 
          xelatex GEN.tex

From what I can determine, Pastor Dettloff started an updated translation of Genesis around November of 2020 and is continuing to work his way through and I want to capture that work here.

Coincidentally, I am in the middle of November 2020 myself.
