## Dataset Structure

### Data Fields

**translation** 
- **languages** - an N length list of the languages of the translations, sorted alphabetically
- **translation** - an N length list with the translations each corresponding to the language specified in the above field
**files**
- **lang** - an N length list of the languages of the files, in order of input
- **file** - an N length list of the filenames from the corpus on github, each corresponding with the lang above
**ref** - the verse(s) contained in the record, as a list, with each represented with: <a three letter book code> <chapter number>:<verse number>
**licenses** - an N length list of licenses, corresponding to the list of files above
**copyrights** - information on copyright holders, corresponding to the list of files above

### Usage

The dataset loading script requires installation of tqdm, ijson, and numpy

Specify the languages to be paired with a list and ISO 693-3 language codes, such as ``languages = ['eng', 'fra']``.
By default, the script will return individual verse pairs, as well as verses covering a full range. If only the individual verses is desired, use ``pair='single'``. If only the maximum range pairing is desired use ``pair='range'`` (for example, if one text uses the verse range covering GEN 1:1-3, all texts would return only the full length pairing).
