Preview 2 is Here

At Paratext, our mission is to equip Bible translators with a software that enables them to reach every nation, tribe, and tongue. With the release of Paratext 10 Studio Preview 2, we’re excited to share the next stage in the journey of the world’s leading Bible translation software.

Overview of Preview 1 and 2

This new release builds on the foundation of Preview 1, which introduced a refreshed user interface, compatibility across Windows, Mac, and Linux, interoperability with Paratext 9, and access to Bible resources through the Digital Bible Library. Preview 2 expands those capabilities with features designed to make your translation work faster, smarter, and more accurate.

A Word About Preview 2

It’s important to note that Preview 2 is not yet a full release. This version is still under development and isn’t yet ready for full translation projects. But it is ready for exploration. You can download the Preview, test out new features, and provide feedback that directly shapes the future of Paratext.

To give you a closer look, members of our development team recorded three short demonstrations of the newest features in Paratext 10 Studio.

Hebrew & Greek Dictionaries

Accuracy and depth are essential in translation. With Preview 2, Paratext 10 Studio gives you access to the Semantic Dictionaries of Biblical Hebrew and Greek, a foundational feature to the Enhanced Resources utilized throughout your translation. The dictionaries provide detailed lexical insights right inside the software, supporting translators with the foundational tools needed to ensure clarity and faithfulness in the text.

Report an Issue

We’ve made it easier than ever to share your voice with the Paratext team. The new Report an Issue feature allows you to quickly provide feedback, report bugs, or suggest ideas for new features. With built-in screenshot and annotation tools, you can highlight and comment, providing clarity and context for the developers collaborating with our team to submit feedback. 

Manage Extensions

Flexibility is at the heart of Paratext 10 Studio. The new Manage Extensions tool lets you discover, enable, and control the extensions you need—while disabling the ones you don’t. Whether it’s Auto Drafts from Scripture Forge, dictionary tools, text collections, or wordlists, you choose the setup that works best for your workflow. Approved developers and organizations can also submit their own extensions, helping to grow a thriving ecosystem of innovation for Bible translators worldwide.
