Even though personal computers and much of the technology associated with them are relatively new it is hard to image life without these tools. However, it is important to remember that technology is a tool, and not the answer to many problems we face. Tools help us solve problems and make our work easier, yet at times they create other problems and make our work more difficult when they do not work properly. We will never be able (nor should we want to) to take the human/ personal element out of our work. This is very much the case regarding the work of Bible translation.
During the past week we has discussed the importance of translating the Bible for the many people around the world who do not have access to the Word of God, and we have explored how Wycliffe Bible Translators are addressing this need. Wycliffe works one on one with native speakers in order to accomplish this task, and therefore the need for trained and gifted personal is vital to the work. A recent post on Wycliffe's website reminds us of this need and the complexities of this vital work.
