This "update" was in response to <a href="http://www.deepbiblestudy.net/?p=377#comment-55175" rel="nofollow">a suggestion I made</a> regarding finding translations that were similar to one you already preferred. Steve, be sure to check out the original version of the tool, if you haven’t seen it before.

The only question I have is why a base translation is necessary. It seems you almost have to know which one is your favorite and compare others to it. The way it worked best for me was to pick the one I scored lowest on with my test run, re-sort, and then the highest scores were my best matches. NRSV and NET, by one point! I would have thought NET, but now I'll have to start checking out the NRSV a bit more. Definitely works for me. The only question I have is why a base translation is necessary.
