New World Translation (2013 revision) in additional languages

[Pereira]

The Portuguese (Portugal) Bible is also already available on the main website, whereas before it wasn't there.

 

Good news indeed, just can't wait now to see it available on the JW Library app.

We got as well the European Portuguese version here in Angola.

I have to say that it took too long for us to get the European version, our brother in Brazil did not wait that long.

Now I will compare to see if it is worth to have 2 translations in the same language.

In the past there was just 1 portuguese version of New World Translation.

What I have noticed so far, the big differences are the verbs..

Happy for you brothers who speak European Portuguese! Still waiting for the Spanish revision. Enjoy your new gift!

One of the biggest changes for us in Brazil, made the difference was the exchange of the pronoun "tu", we rarely used here for "você" and "vós" to "vocês", remaining "tu" only to Jehovah, as a form of respectful treatment. Never we would use the term "você" to Jehovah.

It has been released on the regional conventions.

So it is official, we now have our own version...

Any news on the availability of other publications in portuguese - PT? Like bible teach book...

I noticed on the site there is a version of the good news brochure in our own language (pdf & epub)

Nope... I just knew about it today on this thread

This weekend we had the first conventions but mine is only in August 

I was expecting it to be released on a tied in event or just by an announcement that it was avaliable for request (I'm not sure if the bible was physically delivered - with all the invited people it increases greatly the amount of bibles needed) 

 

Any news on bible releases on RC's in other languages?

Oh, okay. I thought it would be a sign for a release of the revised NWT if all conventions of the language are at the same weekend. But it doesn't seems to be so.

We are waiting the Cebuano translation of NWT.

(I'm looking forward to a new French NWT. In French, there is already a difference between singular and plural "you", "tu" and "vous", respectively. But a new, more understandable French would be nice.)

Expand  

 

Does anyone know if there will be a "central" NWT French version? (i.e. France, Quebec, Francophone Africa, etc.?)

We don't even have Tagalog yet. It's likely you would get that before any other Filipino dialect.

I think what we have in French already is "central," just like most any other language. Unlike Portuguese and Spanish, there are not two different versions of French on jw.org, nor are there different versions of English. The differences in French from various parts of the world are about like the differences between British, South African, Australian, and American English. Despite the different accents and expressions, we can all understand each other. As for expressions in written publications, it looks like the organization is trying to avoid any regionally-specific language aspects that might give away where it was produced, a principle that would apply in most languages.

 

However it may be somewhat different with which accent would be used in a video. There may not be a "central" accent in some languages. The accent used in our English videos, in fact in all movies coming out of Hollywood, is what is called a "mid-Atlantic" accent, or "central"; it can be understood anywhere. But our French videos use European French, and French-Canadians in Quebec seem to be able to understand it perfectly.

During my last meeting, when everybody received their copy of the NWT in Portuguese, so many photo were taken on the kingdom hall.

Its good to see the really appreciation that brothers and sisters have for spiritual materials.

You are right, Tagalog first before our dialect will release. Cebuano is the second largest dialect spoke by Filipinos.

We here in Britain have just been informed that the Watchtower No.5 in Portuguese  (September) will be different in the following ways:

 

1. The front cover will not have the title "The Watchtower - Announcing Jehovah’s Kingdom"

 

2. The magazine will contain an article related to the recent release of the New World Translation in Portuguese for Portugal. Therefore, this issue will be printed later than normal.

Coincidence or is this related to Jayrtom's special campaign letter in August

Thought the same thing ;)

[Araujo JW]

When we receive the translation revised in Portuguese in Brazil, we also had a different edition of The Watchtower August 1, 2015, containing 6 pages devoted to the subject. Do these articles will be adapted for editing in Portugal? 

 

Here is the attachment!
