Can you all consider a tool that ranks the bibles in your system based on translation type. (ie word for word, paraphrase, etc)

And if there are any bible sets that typically pair well together. Ie a literal, with perhaps a phrase by phrase or paraphrase versions

Other data I think you may have, but information on translations views on key things like how it references Genders, and such may be helpful as well.

There are various charts online, but they dont cover all the translations in your system, so it'd be nice to know where they stand in the list.

    I imagine this can be a dataset.  Would be especially helpful for less common bible translations. 

    Information can be arranged in a table with data such as publication date, Bible style (literal, paraphrased, thought for thought), Canon ( I think this is the term to describe if standard 66 books, or if it includes other books), Language, denominational preference (if Preferred by the Catholics or JW for example), source material (TR or critical text ), and maybe, if your system can track such things, a count of how often a particular translation is used in various commentaries or other resources. 

    Include anything else a reader may consider when picking a translation to help address the "What translation should I choose" question.
