Hi! First of all, this is an awesome project! Thanks for doing it and sharing it :)

I'm about to begin building a CLI application to use to read/find things in the scriptures, I was planning on basing it on this project since that would mean it would be pretty standardized. Ideally, the app would work with more than one language, and as I speak both Spanish and English I'd like to make it work for both!

I wanted to ask you where a starting point would be for making a Spanish export, my first guess would be to make a script that parses the Church's website and then gathers the whole text in the different formats, but before starting to work on it I wanted to see if there was any recommendation for that.

I assumme I'd do the export first in JSON as I feel confident around it and then make some scripts to convert it between formats. I've seen there's a sqlite_to_json one. Then if it works I'd just make a pull request so everything stays in the same place.

Anyways, that's pretty much it, let me know if there are any tips you think might be useful, thanks for this great project!!

I found your website and loved it. Thank you! I'm a data scientist, and I've been analyzing General Conference text for a while now: https://ldstxt.com/. Thanks for compiling the scriptures. I've been doing text processing on them for the last few weeks.

I've got some R/python code for scraping General Conference. I'm curious how you acquired the data and wonder if I could help by sharing my GC code.
