When that happens, the verse numbers are combined, such as 4-5 or 4-6. The UDB does this sometimes, and on rare occasions, also the ULB. Because not all of the verse numbers appear or they do not appear where you expect them to be, it might look like some verses are missing. But the contents of those verses are there.

Then together you can discuss the different translation ideas, and you can give reasons why you think one translation alternative might be better than another.

 After checking all of these things and making corrections, have the translation team read the passage out loud again to each other or to other members of their community to make sure that everything still flows in a natural way and uses the right connectors. If a correction made something sound unnatural, they will need to make additional adjustments to the translation. This process of testing and revision should repeat until the translation communicates clearly and naturally in the target language.

Any errors in the translation should also be corrected as soon as they are discovered. Also encourage the periodic review of translations to ascertain when revision or a new translation is needed.

Using the unfoldingWord online tools, these changes to the translation can be made quickly and easily. (see [Create Ongoing Translations](../../translate/guidelines-ongoing/01.md))

 Modern readers may not know some of the things that the people in the Bible and the people who first read it knew. This can make it hard for them to understand what a speaker or writer says, and to learn things that the speaker left implicit. Translators may need to state some things explicitly in the translation that the original speaker or writer left unstated or implicit.

-     
+
 In English, it is clear that the action of this verse follows the action of the previous verse without the use of the connector “and” at the beginning, so it was omitted. Also, the words “with fire” were left out, because this information is communicated implicitly by the word “burn.” An alternative translation for “to burn it” is “to set it on fire.” It is not natural in English to use both “burn” and “fire,” so the English translator should choose only one of them. You can test if the readers understood the implicit information by asking, “How would the door burn?” If they knew it was by fire, then they have understood the implicit information. Or, if you chose the second option, you could ask, “What happens to a door that is set on fire?” If the readers answer, “It burns,” then they have understood the implicit information.

 In English, the information that the centurion answered by speaking is included in the verb “answered,” so the verb “said” can be left implicit. You can test if the readers understood the implicit information by asking, “How did the centurion answer?” If they knew it was by speaking, then they have understood the implicit information.

 In the metaphor below, the speaker describes the woman he loves as a red rose. The woman (his "love") is the **topic**, and "red rose" is the **image**. Beauty and delicacy are the points of comparison that the speaker sees as similarities between both the topic and image. Note, however, that a rose's beauty is not identical to a woman's beauty. Neither are the two kinds of delicacy the same. So these points of comparison are not built upon identical characteristics, but rather upon characteristics that are seen by the writer as similar in some way.

 ### Examples of Translation Strategies Applied
 
 1. If the metaphor is a common expression of a patterned pair of concepts in a biblical language, express the main idea in the simplest way preferred by your language.

 There is no change to this one - but it must be tested to make sure that the target audience correctly understands this metaphor.
 
 3. If the target audience does not realize that it is a metaphor, then change the metaphor to a simile. Some languages do this by adding words such as "like" or "as."

 ### Other Types of pronouns
 
 **[Reflexive Pronouns](../figs-rpronouns/01.md)** refer to another noun or pronoun in the same sentence: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves.
 
-  * **John saw <u>himself</u> in the mirror.** - The word "himself" refers to John.
+* **John saw <u>himself</u> in the mirror.** - The word "himself" refers to John.
 
 **Interrogative Pronouns** are used to make a question that needs more than just a yes or no for an answer: who, whom, whose, what, where, when, why, how
 
-  * **<u>Who</u> built the house?**
+* **<u>Who</u> built the house?**
 
 **Relative Pronouns** mark a relative clause. They tell more about a noun in the main part of the sentence: that, which, who, whom, where, when 
 
-  * **I saw the house <u>that</u> John built.** The clause "that John built" tells which house I saw.
+* **I saw the house <u>that</u> John built.** The clause "that John built" tells which house I saw.
-  * **I saw the man <u>who</u> built the house.** The clause "who built the house" tells which man I saw.
+* **I saw the man <u>who</u> built the house.** The clause "who built the house" tells which man I saw.
 
 **Demonstrative Pronouns** are used to draw attention to someone or something and to show distance from the speaker or something else: this, these, that, those.  
 
-  * **Have you seen <u>this</u> here?**
+* **Have you seen <u>this</u> here?**
-  * **Who is <u>that</u> over there?**
+* **Who is <u>that</u> over there?**
 
 **Indefinite pronouns** are used when no particular noun is being referred to: any, anyone, someone, anything, something, some. Sometimes a personal pronoun is used in a generic way to do this: you, they, he or it.
 
-  * **He does not want to talk to <u>anyone</u>.** 
+* **He does not want to talk to <u>anyone</u>.** 
-  * **<u>Someone</u> fixed it, but I do not know who.** 
+* **<u>Someone</u> fixed it, but I do not know who.** 
-  * **<u>They</u> say that <u>you</u> should not wake a sleeping dog.** 
+* **<u>They</u> say that <u>you</u> should not wake a sleeping dog.** 
 
 In the last example, "they" and "you" just refer to people in general.

@@ -6,11 +6,11 @@ There are two kinds of quotations: direct quotation and indirect quotation.
 
 A **direct quotation** occurs when someone reports what another person said from the viewpoint of that original speaker. People usually expect that this kind of quotation will represent the original speaker's exact words. In the example below, John would have said "I" when referring to himself, so the narrator, who is reporting John's words, uses the word "I" in the quotation to refer to John. To show that these are John's exact words, many languages put the words between quotation marks:"".
 
-  * John said, "<u>I</u> do not know at what time <u>I</u> will arrive." 
+* John said, "<u>I</u> do not know at what time <u>I</u> will arrive." 
 
 An **indirect quotation** occurs when a speaker reports what someone else said, but in this case, the speaker is reporting it from his own point of view instead of from the original person's point of view. This kind of quotation usually features changes in pronouns, and it often features changes in time, in word choices, and in length. In the example below, the narrator refers to John as "he" in the quotation and uses the word "would," to replace the future tense indicated by "will."

 ### Description
 
 Some languages use quotation marks to mark off direct quotes from the rest of the text. English uses the mark " before and after a quote. 
 
-  * John said, "I do not know when I will arrive."
+* John said, "I do not know when I will arrive."
 
 Quotation marks are not used with indirect quotes.

+* John said that he did not know when he would arrive.
 
 When there are many layers of quotes inside of quotes, it might be hard for readers to understand who is saying what. Alternating two kinds of quote marks can help careful readers to keep track of them.  In English the outermost quote has double quote marks, and the next quote inside has single marks. The next quote inside of that has double quote marks.

 The predicate is the part of a sentence that tells something about the subject. It usually has a verb. (See: [Verbs](figs-verbs))  In the sentences below, the subjects are "the man" and "he." The predicates are underlined and the verbs are in bold.

 #### Compound Sentences 
 
 A sentence can be made up of more than one sentence. Each of the two lines below has a subject and a predicate and is a full sentence.
 
-  * He planted the yams.
+* He planted the yams.
-  * His wife planted the corn.

-  * He planted the yams <u>and</u> his wife planted the corn.
+* He planted the yams <u>and</u> his wife planted the corn.
 
 #### Clauses 
 
 Sentences can also have clauses and other phrases. Clauses are like sentences because they have a subject and a predicate, but they do not normally occur by themselves. Here are some examples of clauses. The subjects are in bold, and the predicates are underlined.
 
-  * when **the corn** <u>was ready</u>

-  * because **it** <u>tasted so good</u>

 Sentences can have many clauses, and so they can become long and complex. But each sentence has to have at least one **independent clause**, that is, a clause that can be a sentence all by itself. The other clauses that cannot be sentences by themselves are called the **dependent clauses**. Dependent clauses depend on the independent clause to complete their meaning. The dependent clauses are underlined in the sentences below.
 
-  * <u>When the corn was ready</u>, she picked it.
+* <u>When the corn was ready</u>, she picked it.
-  * <u>After she picked it</u>, she carried it home and cooked it.

-  * Then she and her husband ate it all, <u>because it tasted so good</u>.
+* Then she and her husband ate it all, <u>because it tasted so good</u>.
 
 The following phrases can each be a whole sentence. They are the independent clauses from the sentences above.

 In some languages, the verb may be a little bit different depending on the persons or things associated with it. For example, English speakers sometimes put "s" at the end of the verb when the subject is just one person. In other languages marking on the verb may show whether the subject is "I," "you," or "he"; singular, dual, or plural; male or female, or human or non-human.

 ### Aspect
 
 When we tell about an event, sometimes we want to show how the event progressed over a period of time, or how the event relates to another event. This is **aspect**. English speakers sometimes use the verbs "is" or "has" and add "s," "ing," or "ed" to the end of the verb in order to show how the event relates to another event or to the present time.
