We recommend that you use [translatioStudio](http://ufw.io/ts) to translate OBS. However, you may also fork this repository or download a zip archive of the latest version on the [Releases](https://git.door43.org/unfoldingWord/en_obs/releases) page.
Many translations have the version number listed. If the version number is not available, figuring out which version a translation was based off of is important.
To figure out which version a particular translation was translated from, do the following:
* Check story number 45. If it ends with Philip looking at the chariot, then it is translated from version 1.x. If it ends with the Ethiopian Official smiling, go to the next step.
* Check frame 06-02. If the phrase “to the land where Abraham’s relatives lived” is not included, then it is translated from version 2.x. If it is included, it is translated from at least version 3.x. (Also check frame 09-06. If “in order to save him from being killed” is not included, it is translated from version 2.x. If it is included, it is translated from at least version 3.x.)
* If you are still not sure, we have created a complete set of all the changes between [Version 1.x](http://ufw.io/obs1-3) or [Version 2.x](http://ufw.io/obs2-3) and the current version. Compare your translation to this list of changes to determine which version your translation was made from. Note: All text highlighted in green has been added, text highlighted in yellow has been changed, and text highlighted in red has been deleted. Only frames that have changed are included in these lists.
### Update to the Latest Version of Open Bible Stories
Once you have identified which version of Open Bible Stories the translation in your language used, you will need to update the translation in your language to the latest version.

Simply go through these changes and update the text in your language according to those documents, and your translation of Open Bible Stories will be up to date.
