Xhosa 1975 Bible for South Africa
Is there anyway to get the Xhosa 1975 Bible added to Logos?
I work with a team of missionaries here that work in the Xhosa language who also have Logos. Unfortunately, the Bible we use isn't available.
Any help to get that Bible added would be greatly appreciated. There are around 8 million people here in South Africa that speak Xhosa as their first lanaguage.
Thanks,
Mark Coffey

Shalom Mark and welcome to the forums!
Have you contacted the Bible Society of South Africa? I think they hold the copyright.
At one time Logos had a South African branch but when it closed down Logos was not able to sell the South African resources on their website. As far as I know Logos is still planning on bringing these Afrikaans resources back (see this post) and also adding a few Bibles in African languages (I have no idea though if this will include Xhosa).
You can add the Xhosa 1975 Bible to Logos by turning it into a personal book but this will require some effort.

I havent contacted them. I'm not really sure what I would need to ask them about getting it to Logos.

Encourage the Bible society to enter into negotiations with Logos and also send an email to suggest AT logos.com. There'ś no guarantee that it will work but you can always try (see e.g. this post about Czech Bibles).
