#### Gateway Language Translations
This section is not for Gateway Language translations of the ULB and UDB. These are Bibles that are designed to have characteristics that keep them from being natural in a target language. They are Bible translation tools, not end-user Bibles. For more information about this, see "Translating the ULB" and "Translating the UDB" in the Gateway Languages Manual.

They are not designed for the mother-tongue speakers of the Gateway Language. Therefore, GL Bibles will not sound natural to GL mother-tongue speakers. For more information about this, see "Translating the ULB" and "Translating the UDB" in the Gateway Languages Manual.
