VideoPsalm

You may want to display the Bible book names in the same language as the Bible.
For example, you may want a Spanish Bible to display its books in Spanish.

Usually, VideoPsalm displays the Bible book names in the same language as its menus.
If you set the VideoPsalm language to English, the Bible book names will be displayed in English.
In the following screenshot, VideoPsalm is in English, and displays the Spanish Bible books in English:

However, some Bibles have the book names in their own language.

To enable a Bible to display its book names in its own language:
1. Click on the Bible button, to display its properties in the middle panel:

2. In the middle panel, deselect the option “Display the book names in English”:

Your changes are immediately reflected and you get the Bible books in Spanish:

When you leave VideoPsalm, it will remind you to save your changes:

By default, VideoPsalm only reminds you to save changes that you made to your songbooks.
It will not remind you of unsaved changes to Bibles, unless you specifically set this in the settings:

You can also save your changes to songbooks and Bibles anytime, via the save button:

In case the Bible does not contain book names in the proper language, you can edit each book name in the book property panel:

1. Click the book that you want to rename (for example “Lamentacion”, which should be “Lamentaciones” in Spanish):

2. This displays the book properties in the middle panel, where you can correct the spelling:

This works similarly with a wide range of VideoPsalm's items:
1. Click on an item.
2. This displays the item properties in the middle panel, where you can edit them.

This mechanism works similarly for the Testament names.
Click on a Testament:

​Adjust its name in the middle panel:

This method enables the systematic display of one (or more) additional Bible translations.
Lets consider that you always want to display the French translation under your English translation.

​To set the French Bible as an additional translation that will always be displayed under any other translation:

• Click the French Bible:

From now on, any Bible verse will automatically be displayed in conjunction with the corresponding verse in this Bible:

To add another Bible translation, repeat the operation.
The order in which the additional translations appear on screen is dictated by their "Position" property:

Save the changes that you did to your Bibles:

Note that per default, VideoPsalm will silently ignore to save changes that you do to Bibles.
You have to first enable this in the options:

This method enables the ad hoc display of Bible verses in two or more translations.
​The same method applies to displaying song lyrics in two languages.​

Let's display Romans 3:19-24 in the NIV (English translation) and in the Colombe (French translation).

Step 1: Proceed like usual: Select the Bible translation verses by typing their reference into the search field, and add them to the agenda:

Then click on the “Add” button to add the verse selection to the agenda.

You end up with the NIV Bible verses into your agenda:

Step 2: Select the second Bible (French Colombe) and then click again on the “Add” button, to add the same verses to the agenda.

Step 3: Now comes the important point:
​Link the first Bible verse selection (NIV) with the next one (Colombe), like so:

When you display the NIV verses, they now get displayed with the Colombe corresponding verses:

These steps can be done even during the service, as they require only a few seconds and do not interfere with the current presentation progress if you activate the shield icon.

The same principle works for songs:

It is also possible to highlight some words or phrases:
