GitHub Sponsors Profile

There are a tremendous amount of works of early Christianity, valuable both to scholars and the church, that have either never been translated or only have old and difficult to understand translations that were published decades ago.
The Appian Way Press, a small publisher based in Washington state, has decided to use tools from the ever-growing field of machine learning (ML) and specifically machine translation (MT), combined with the growing capability of large-language models (LLMs) to attack this problem.
We plan on creating diglot editions of each work, with the original on the left and the translation on the right. Because the translation is machine-created, it is important to remain transparent with the original source. We will also make ePub editions of the translations available for download.
And we've decided to release the diglots and translations under a CC-BY-SA 4.0 license.
How does this work?
Currently, Rick Brannan does all of this work in his spare time. Funding allows Rick to prioritize the work over other obligations (including publishing obligations and contracted work for other organizations).
