The translation your church actually reads from, on screen next to the ones already included. Import is available on every plan, including Free — and the sample file below is yours to download right now, with no account needed.

Start from the sample

A ready-made CSV with the correct header row and twelve verses. Open it in any spreadsheet, replace the rows with your translation, save as CSV, and import.

โฌ‡ Download the sample CSV (English) โฌ‡ Sample with Japanese headers โฌ‡ Sample with Shona headers

The English and Japanese samples carry public-domain verses (the King James Version and the 1955 Japanese Colloquial Bible). The Shona sample carries the header row and three rows to overwrite. Please import only translations your church holds the rights to use.

Fill in the file

Keep the header row from the sample — the importer looks for those column names. One row per verse. Save as CSV (UTF-8).

Open the import screen

Sign in with a church administrator account, open โš™๏ธ System settings, choose the ๐Ÿ“– Bibles & translations tab, then ๐Ÿ“ฅ Bulk Bible import.

Upload

Under ๐Ÿ“ค Upload local Bible files, choose your CSV (several at once is fine) and press Import. The version code is taken from the file name; you can change it and the display name on the row before importing.

Use it

The translation appears in the version list beside the built-in ones, shown with the book names you wrote. It stays private to your church.
