translations, it may really balloon the template to outrageous proportions. I'm far more inclined to leave access to Jewish translations here through the one link in the "Lists" section at the bottom, and perhaps to create a separate template for Jewish translations. (And, to be perfectly candid, I have no interest in encouraging "less observant" Jewish readers to be involved with this template. But that's a POV, and may be an inappropriate motivation.)

translations on some of the OT prophets. Then "21st century" would also have, near the end, a second-level group "Hebrew Bible" to include Robert Alter's recent publication. Note how this retains sensitivity to
Christian and Jewish conventions, allowing "Old Testament" and "Hebrew Bible" to remain distinctive. Any thoughts? I propose going ahead with this in a week or so (i.e. around, or shortly after, New Year 2019).
754:
More, the general sense was that people weren't likely to be coming to any page this would be on looking for Jewish translationsābut if they did, they'd find them through the Jewish translations link. (And, honestly, I don't really want all these
Christian translations appearing at the bottom of a page on Jewish translations. I just don't.)

which has a component "Template:Modes". It sounds as though we could have a set of smaller "Template:XXX" items, each meaningful in its own right, and that potentially larger templates, such as ours here, could use them as components. Worth exploring, I think. Anyone care to sketch some ideas in a

This navbox is starting to get rather unwieldy. Adding every single KJV/RV derivative, no matter how obscure (rather than just the major ones, such as NKJV, RSV, NRSV, ESV, and so on) is making it much worse. I think there's some argument for limiting it to 'major' translations, but of course there's
753:
For a long while, there's been an implicit consensus to leave Jewish translations out of this template, other than by way of the link to Jewish translations at the bottom of the template. There are (relatively) only a few Jewish translations compared to the enormous volume of
Christian translations.
443:
However, I don't think it's especially useful or interesting to people interested in Jewish translations. You're going to have dozens of
Christian translations, of all kinds of different flavors, and a few scattered Jewish translations. Personally, I think this template is more useful to more people
809:
My vote is to keep it generic (rather than rename to "Christian..."), and to tidy it up. For instance, suppose (as one example) the content of sections "20th century" and "21st century" were mostly put under a subsection "Christian translation", parallel to the existing subsections "New
Testament",

Disclaimer: I am an active lifelong
Christian layperson in the UK, with no theology degree, but enough exposure to appreciate just how little I know! In the late 1980s I first encountered the work of Jewish scholar Robert Alter, and his translations are now my leading "go-to" version of the Hebrew

for an example of this principle at work. For instance, the "20th century" group and appearance would remain almost as now, but would also have, near the end, a small second-level group "New

Orthodox Jewish Bible links to a page about Messianic Bible Translations, which has nothing to say about an "Orthodox Jewish Bible". There is already the "Complete Jewish Bible", "World Messianic", "Heinz Cassirer's translation" and "Tree of Life" links to the page on Messianic Bible
757:
Now, this template is getting crazy complex, and I don't know that I really favor all the extra subsections (Hebrew Bible, New
Testament, what have you). I'd get rid of them all, and I'd remove the Jewish translations while I did that. But ... if they remain, then I think the JPS, new JPS, etc.,

As far as it goes, it works. I'll be honest, though: this template is already so busy, and so slanted (understandably) toward
Christian translations, that I'm not sure it's all that worthwhile to do this. (And once we open the template to these, if it then opens the template to NT-only Christian

In Citer, you'll find that it was there the entire time (and still is). The navbox sorts translations by chronological order by the publishing of the New Testament portion, and according to the SSBE page, this was done in 1981. The style of the navbox omits words such as "Version", "Bible",
673:
The current template has a single level of grouping: "5th-11th century"; "Middle English" etc. It is also, but implicitly rather than explicitly, for full Christian Bibles: Old Testament plus New Testament. I propose adding an optional second level for partial translations. See

That "...implicit consensus to leave Jewish translations out..." (emphasis here on "implicit") and its interaction with the generic, rather than Christian-specific "Bible translation" title may be the source of the confusion. I suspect we should home in on

I agree that the current template looks somewhat messy. And yet its (current) title is "...Bible translation", not "...Christian Bible translation. On that basis alone, I would think that it ought, somehow, positively to embrace, not exclude, Jewish

842:, separate navboxes for each pre-established grouping would mean greater interrelation between the navbox contents than the current catch-all navbox. And anyone who wants the full list of translations is already covered by the category structure.

As this template is about Bible translations, it should be ordered and divided according to the date of completing the minimum definition of the Christian Bible, i.e. OT and NT, ignoring the date of apocrypha if included. Other scholars such as

I just removed the NASB study Bible from the list because the article was deleted a while ago, so it was the only one without a link. I don't know if this is the best route or not; what do you guys think? The other options seem to be:

Then, there's how there aren't actually specifically Jewish Bible translations (except those of Messianic Jews) like JPS and ArtScroll, so either they should be included or the title should specify that this is for Christian Bibles.

The current divisions by time periods are meet. However, within each section, translations should be ordered alphabetically so as to make them easier to locate. This would follow the standard of numerous other navboxes.
