There is an official BoM in Arabic. It was translated in the 1980s. Just go to the LDS Catalog:

Sorry took so long to reply. I have not found any Arabic versions, yet. I don’t believe there is an official version. If anyone wants to do an unofficial version please let me know. Thanks.

Not at this time. I am sure it won’t be long before one is available. At this time, the Church website (www.lds.org) has the Scriptures in Danish, German, English, Spanish, French, Hungarian, Italian, Dutch, and Portuguese. It won’t be long, I am sure. Please be patient. When it comes available, we will let everyone know!

Looking for an e copy of the Book of Mormon in Afrikaans for my friend who is going on a mission to South Africa.

Does anyone know where I can get a the scripture in French audio format?
Joe

At the moment I don’t find the scriptures in French in audio format. On the Church website I see there are audio formats for Spanish, Portuguese, and English. Hopefully French will be available soon. You can check this for yourself at http://lds.org/mp3/newarchive/0,18615,5249-1,00.html . I don’t find anything in the listings at the Distribution Center.

Geody, I have started typing the Book of Mormon in Afrikaans, but have not gotten very far. If your friend is serving a mission where he is required to speak Afrikaans, he will receive a copy of the scriptures in that language at the MTC. Most people in South Africa speak English. My friends in South Africa have said that they do have a Book of Mormon in Afrikaans, but they don’t use it, as they use English.

Why not scan the scriptures, then OCR them?
Because I just moved from Spain to Odgen, I don’t have my scanner any more.. would that be of help? I have the scriptures in Spanish, but this might be a way to get the other languages relativly easily.
I know a year ago, while in Spain (was not a missionary there) I had a need for a BOM in Russian.. but was out of luck.
I like what your doing here.

Thank you Alan. I tried scanning them with OCR, but it did not work very well. The accents and special characters don’t come through. It was more work than typing. I’ve tried for years to get help with my project, but no one wants to help me. I’d love to get the Afrikaans, Haitian Creole, and Tahitian versions typed in Word.
I have not attempted to do languages like Russian and Greek, since they use a different alphabet. I have quite a few languages to work from in my home, due to my collection of Book of Mormons. I work on them as I have time and energy. I started out with French, Spanish, and German. When I started it was very hard to find any language other than English on the internet.
Uft36 and I got together when we discovered we had a similar idea. We are sharing ideas and helping each other, but I still need help with getting the last few languages typed. If you want to help, you are welcome to. Just let me know.
Susan

Hi Susan,
I’m not sure how soon I could complete it, but I would love to help you with the Tahitian. Please respond as I have selected to be notified of follow-up comments.
Brenda
July 27, 2009 at 2:18 p
That would be great Brenda! I’d love the help. We never know who wants to have access to an e-version of the Book of Mormon! You can email me at nymormon (at)gmail (dot) com to discuss this privately. I can send you what I have, which isn’t much, as an example of how I want it done.
Susan
July 27, 2009 at 2:34 p
Sorry, I didn’t know how to respond to a comment.
That would be wonderful! I just got back from Tahiti and Huahine (which is fairly remote). I was surprised to find that they had internet access all over the place! I would love to be a part of this.
And yes, please send me what you have! Anything would be great!

I just learned today that 3 more languages are online at http://www.lds.org. Now you can read the Book of Mormon and D&C online in Finnish, Norwegian, and Swedish. More languages are being added regularly. Just go to http://scriptures.lds.org/ and click on the language link on the right to choose the language of your choice. The default says English (at least for me).

Hi, I think what you´re doing is just great! Hey, I´m looking for the audio of the BofM in French, do you know where I can find it? By the way, here there´s a link to the Audio of the BofM in German, for anyone that is looking for it, it is the an old version, but it is pretty good, and the new version I couldn´t find it. http://batesbunch.com/dbm/ So I hope this help anyone looking for it. Please tell me if you have any information. =)
Andy.

Andy, so far we don’t know of an audio Book of Mormon in French. So far, the Church has English, Spanish and Portuguese in audio format. I am sure it won’t be long before they have French available.
Thank you for the link to audio files of the Book of Mormon in German.

Lance, I do not know if there is an online version of the Japanese Book of Mormon. A quick websearch gave me many lines to the Book of Mormon, but I couldn’t find one in Japanese. You can order a copy of the Book of Mormon in Japanese from the Church Distribution Center, at http://www.ldscatalog.com, and searching for item #34407300. It costs $2.50 (US).
Susan

Um, I am sure I’m going to live to regret this, but I did learn a bit of Afrikaans and I’ve been looking for a way to force myself to do the BoM chapter by chapter, verse by verse. I’ve recently tried with Russian and Greek, but I’m still too new with those languages to be very successful. I would be willing to volunteer to work on the Afrikaans version but think it work best if I had a proof-reader, since I don’t trust myself THAT well. I will need some time to get a copy
Thomas
July 28, 2009 at 6:39 p
Thomas, if you email me at nymormon (at) gmail (dot) com, we can discuss this. I’d be very happy to have your help with this project, but only if you really want to help. You only do as much as you can, when you can. There’s no time table.
Susan
July 28, 2009 at 6:51 p
Thanks, Brenda and Thomas for your help. Please let me know your progress on these projects. Whenever you two are finished I can include these versions on this page for everyone to enjoy.
uft36
July 29, 2009 at 4:04 p
Don’t worry! As soon as they are finished, I’ll convert them to PDF and send them to you! This is a joint project, remember! We’re all working together on this.
I’ll have Finnish and Tagalog ready for you in a few weeks. Keep a look out.

When I received Susan’s message, I exchanged emails with her and just assumed that she was responsible for the website. Sorry, uft36, hope I didn’t step on any toes! Susan has shared the 1/4 of Die Boek of Mormon transcription and I should have a hard copy of die Boek early next week. Once I get started actually transcribing, I can set some goals and provide an estimate of a finish date.
I believe very strongly in this work, even if there are other ways for folks to get either a hard copy or online version of the Scriptures. While the official Church website is a wonderful tool, I have a dial-up connection and prefer local copies of documents I access regularly. I also know there are other people out there who might only have access to the Internet at work or for only an hour or two a day on a public terminal. If they can save the file to a disk, they might still be able to read it on a palm, phone, or older computer. Maybe they just want to print a couple pages….whatever the need, I’m all for making the Word available in as many formats and languages as possible! I would also not be surprised if certain countries block access to the official Church websites, but maybe citizens can still access the versions included on pages like this one.
Depending on how Afrikaans goes, I might be willing to volunteer to work on another version, especially if it isn’t available on the Church site just yet. As I mentioned to Susan, I do have both a Russian and Greek Book of Mormon though I’m just starting to study both languages.
Thomas
July 31, 2009 at 7:35 p
Hi, Thomas! No, you didn’t step on any toes. Susan is the main person to go to for any questions on the international versions of the Book of Mormon. You and others like you are the main reason I originally started this website. I wanted to provide electronic versions for anyone with older computers and have difficulty obtaining a copy because of restrictions, whatever they may be. Finding Susan’s international versions expanded my goal of reaching countries that have difficulties in obtaining their versions, also. I envisioned missionaries in certain Arab countries giving electronic versions of the Book of Mormon instead of hard copies where they may be illegal to have. I hope you get to the Russian version soon because I have been wanting that version for a long time. I feel that this has been needed for a long time in that country. Thank you for all your help.

OK I won’t worry, Susan.
I know you and everyone that is involved is doing a great job on these projects. And I know God is very pleased on how well this project is going. Thank you for all of your hard work. It is exciting to know that people from all over the world will be able to send and receive free Book of Mormons and to read them in their own language.

The stories are incredibly well written and set a gold standard for what could be a narrative sermon. ,
