* **[The Original and Source Languages](../translate-original/01.md)** - Does the translation team understand the difference between source languages and original languages?
* **[Original Manuscripts](../translate-manuscripts/01.md)** - Does the translation team understand about Original Manuscripts and [Textual Variants](../translate-textvariants/01.md)?

There are also translations of the Bible there to be used as sources for translation in English, and soon other languages, as well.
