MINISTRY SPOTLIGHT: Unfolding Word
Founded in 2004, ministry uses open sourced, cutting edge technologies in Bible translation process
Summary: Unfolding Word began in 2004 focused on Bible translation; however it has adapted a different approach than traditional translation models, by using open sourced, cutting-edge technology resources so that people around the world can quickly and reliably translate the Bible into their own language. Open source software is an alternative to proprietary software and represents a different model for the development and licensing of commercial software code than that typically used for proprietary software. Because open source software code, generally, is freely shared, there are customarily no licensing fees for the use of open source software. Therefore, the Organization does not recognize revenue from the licensing of the code itself. Opportunities for further innovation of the Organization’s offerings are supplemented by donor contributions. The aim of Unfolding Word is to equip, resource and publish biblical translation content.
