A new milestone has been reached as the Bible has been translated into its 700th language. The milestone is indicative of the acceleration that is happening in the work of Bible translation\u2014to the extent that it is impossible to state which translation was actually the 700th, as there were several launches of physical Bibles, as well as several being made available online and via apps, all at about the same time.<\/p>\n
James Poole, Executive Director of Wycliffe Bible Translators, says, \u201cIt\u2019s good to take a step back and realize what this 700th Bible means: 5.7 billion people who speak 700 languages now have the Bible in the language that speaks to them best. That is a remarkable figure and continues to grow. However, there are still about 1.5 billion people\u2014that\u2019s roughly 1 in 5\u2014who do not have the Bible in their language. That\u2019s an injustice that Bible translation teams worldwide continue to work to put right.\u201d<\/p>\n
