Executive summary
Turkish and German each gained seven New Testament books this period — Ephesians through John — fully analyzed, doctrine-checked, and promoted into the live translation-requirements packages Crowdin reads from. The Library's home page also got a first-class "What's new" view so partners can see freshly updated language packs at a glance.
What's new
-
Change
German and Turkish each grew from 1 to 8 New Testament books this period.
Impact
Congregations now have a doctrine-checked glossary, not raw output. 88 Turkish terms are flagged Critical-risk for review.
Next action
Recruit German- and Turkish-fluent theologian reviewers to clear the backlog.
-
Change
Fixed a bug causing duplicate frontmatter on Library pages. Regenerated all 51 affected pages.
Impact
Every Library page now renders exactly as designed.
Next action
Monitor upcoming promotions to confirm the fix holds.
-
Change
Added a 'What's new' sort with freshness badges to the Library home page. The sort state is now linkable via URL hash.
Impact
Visitors can now find what's changed in one click.
Next action
Track toggle click-through via Plausible analytics next period.
Business impact
This period's work roughly doubled the depth of coverage in our two most requested European languages, while also paying down a data-quality bug before it reached more languages. Both are the kind of unglamorous, compounding progress that makes the platform more trustworthy to a ministry partner evaluating us for the first time.

Risks
The Critical/High-risk doctrine review backlog is growing faster than our confirmed volunteer theologian capacity for German and Turkish specifically — if this gap widens further, newly generated books will sit unreviewed and undistributed for longer, which undercuts the "reproducible" pillar of the platform's value proposition.
Decisions needed
Leadership: approve outreach to two or three seminary/theology-program partners specifically for German- and Turkish-fluent volunteer reviewers, since general volunteer-form submissions have not surfaced enough of either so far.
Next Week
- The newly generated German and Turkish books' OKF bundles are already live — next is recruiting reviewers, not more generation, for these two languages
- Continue the same 4-wave generation pattern for the next requested language pair
Key dates
- August 4, 2026 — Target: begin theologian review pass on Turkish Matthew, given its historically-sensitive chapters 23 and 27
