FAQPage Schema
How do I convert biblical source text into meaning-based translation?▼

Meaning-based translation converts source text into unfoldingWord Simplified Text (UST) to reveal implicit information and restructure sentences for clarity. You provide a source verse and request a meaning-based simplification to generate a draft.

What is unfoldingWord Simplified Text (UST) used for in translation workflows?▼

UnfoldingWord Simplified Text (UST) is used to expose implicit meaning and improve comprehension by rewriting biblical text meaning-based. It handles figures of speech and restructures sentences to produce a starting draft for translation teams.

How do I handle figures of speech when restructuring text for clarity?▼

Handling figures of speech during text restructuring requires applying UST principles to transform source text into meaning-based output. This reveals implicit content and restructures sentences for clarity within translation pipelines.

Can I use simplified-transform for production translation tasks?▼

You should not use simplified-transform for production translation tasks because it is a legacy placeholder. Use UST-gen instead when it is available for production UST generation workflows.

Do I need a defined source mapping to generate meaning-based text rewrites?▼

Yes, generating meaning-based text rewrites requires a defined mapping from source text to simplified output. This mapping respects UST principles and integrates as a non-destructive step within a larger UST-generation pipeline.
