20250405 – major fix list

Salaam alaikum all

Back in the early 2000s a serious tech problem led to a faulty restore of our data.
The result was truncation of the last character of many, many translated verses.
As of today I can tell you that most of these have been fixed.

Long story made short, I used a database algorithm and a public list of valid English words to list all translated verses ending in a word that seemed invalid.

List started out at over 20,000 (out of our 500,000+ verse/renditions).
Once I filtered out non-English words I got this down to closer to 4000.

These were manually corrected.

The database .zip file has not been corrected,
inshaAllah I will get those rebuilt and uploaded tomorrow!

Search has been simplified;
we only use google search now, and it is at the top of the page
Qur’an pages and WordPress front pages.
