The trip to Paradise was basically done in one language, English.
So now, most of the trip can be viewed in 12 languages.
Having the sentence by sentence database opens so many possibilities. The translations arent perfect. They are, though, good enough to use.
The trip won't be done for quite a while but each day will bring it closer.

The Arabian translation is live.
So I've transferred the 600,000 mp3s to my VPS computer on the Internet. I won't erase the mp3 audio folder on my website till I'm sure everyone have cleared their cache.
If you arent aware of cache, thats where the stuff you've been looking at is saved temporarily on your machine so its faster and you dont have to download everything on the Internet from websites.
So if I've made a lot of changes to my website programs, you may be still using a cached program which is expecting the mp3s in the audio folder while the changes are using the VPS audio folder. So if I remove the folder on my website and the cache hasn't renewed, if I've removed the audio folder where the local cached programs expect it then your cached program will fail. Yuk
So yeah, eventually you get to understand this stuff. Sometimes, if youre lucky, the AI will let you know.

So by tomorrow or the next day, I'll have the Arabic translation finished.
But... I ran into a big problem. I have 3 websites. Using my 3 websites, I'm limited to 600,000 files. So 51,000 x 12 translations thats 612,000 mp3 files needed to use all of them. 600,000, thats my limit and thats with all my other files from all 3 of my websites.
So yeah. My limit was reached. How to get around the limitation. Well it happens to be I needed a VPS relay for something else. I forgot why. Anyway, thats an actual (VPS), that stands for virtual private server. That's a full on computer on the net that runs Linux Ubuntu. And it has no limitations to the amount of files I have on it. Its just limited by the memory, which happens to be 50 gigabytes. Since my mp3 sound files take just above 40 gigabytes, I've got room to play with.
Now I'll need to set it up to use those mp3s from my website when the user needs them for the language reader. Very doable. The catch: It will take me 34 hours of non stop uploading to the VPS to get all the files copied.
So there it is, tomorrow, after I play music with my band, I'll finish the transfer and then remove all the audio files off of my Hostinger website system. Since I might do some more translations later on, I'll have room to spare.

I'm uploading the mp3s for Hindi. It'll be done within the hour. The rest of the programs are ready for Hindi. The characters for Hindi are interesting. They take up more room than most languages.
Anyway, it's done. Now someone who speaks Hindi can learn 10 other languages while listening to the Urantia book, sentence by sentence.
When I go on my bike ride, I listen to the English/French sentence by sentence and I gotta say, it works really well. I understand most of what they are saying in French.
The Urantia book has a very sophisticated vocabulary, so it's a really good way to learn another language and at the same time, listening to the Urantia book.
Pierre
Its done
Last translation for a while. Spent 500.00 creating 10 translations using Google's translation system. 50.00 a translation. Pretty good deal.
Its not perfect but its good enough to learn 9 languages while reading the Urantia Book. Your own and 9 more.
I listen to it on my bike ride. Obviously I cant see the text while riding but its good enough to learn by.
Ive refreshed my French to the point where i understand most of what's being said. So it works. Hopefully I'll have other people using it.
Fixed a few problems throughout the Urantia world site.
Im taking a break now. Almost forgot, I have a few hours left on the personality tree.
Pierre
Wow. What a difference the language databases make in the update of the tree of personalities. I can add in all the languages for several personalities in one sitting. That would have taken me a month to do.
I am completely blown away at just how powerful this creation of these sentence separated language databases. And along with each of those sentences, there are the same amount of mp3s as there are sentences. It completely changes what I'll be doing with the Urantia Book.
I can't wait to tackle other trees. For sure the evolutionary tracks of marine, plant, animal and human evolution journeys. When I do trees of those, I'll be adding in a progress bar based on time. Later, if I live that long, I would like to do Pangea and the north and south seas where they deposited the plasma.
Wow!
Pierre
I started the Polish Translation. Same as the others. A sentence by sentence translation of 50,000 sentences. Then I'll start creating the 50,000 mp3s that match each Polish sentence. It'll be done tomorrow at 3:30am.
Then I'll upload the database and the mp3s to my website. So midday tomorrow, the personalities and translation reader should be avaliable by midday.
After the Polish translation is done, I'll get back to my 3d controlling system based on my power plant program that took me 30 years to create. First up, the alarm system on my home doors and windows.
