The Transparent Translation

A scholarly reading platform where the governance is the product.

Role
Builder: product, IA, content system, all four locales

A multilingual study platform for the Hebrew Bible and Greek Scriptures, built on one principle: preserve the ambiguity, mark every added word, import no later theology. Every chapter opens through three doors: Read, Notes, and Deeper. Each is a real, crawlable URL serving a different kind of reader.

Behind it: full four-language content parity, a translation rule system enforced by a content linter in CI, and typed domain models for chapters, notes, people, and prophecies.

What it proves

  • Information architecture for radically different reader intents on one content source
  • Content operations as engineering: typed, tested, multilingual, lint-enforced
  • The signature move: turning an opinionated, fuzzy domain into an auditable rule system
