The Bible translation projects listed below are not ready yet. I will check the situation of these projects a few times per year. If the whole Tanakh or New Testament becomes ready and stable in a project, I will add the translation in this review. If it becomes evident that the project will never be completed, I will move it from this list to the list of Bibles that are excluded from the review.
Projects marked with an asterisk * have the Tanakh or New Testament in this review, but the rest of the Bible is not ready yet.
