  • Complete or partial Bibles have been published in nearly 2000 languages by organizations such as The Bible Society of the UK; Wycliffe Bible Translators; The Christian Science Publishing Society. There is no central site where they can be accessed, but they are rather easy to Google. "Bible swahili" will get you links to several New Testaments and a whole Bible on the first page.

"When the Center began, scholars estimated there were 70,000 Yiddish books still extant and recoverable. The Center recovered that number in six months and has gone on to recover 1.5 million volumes, with hundreds of additional books continuing to arrive each week. The Center’s achievement has been hailed as the 'the greatest cultural rescue effort in Jewish history.'"
