## Key Anglicized Translations Available on the Platform Bible Gateway hosts several major translations that offer Anglicized editions. Some of the most widely read include: * **New International Version UK (NIVUK):** This version adapts the popular modern translation to use British spelling and phrasing. * **English Standard Version Anglicised (ESVUK):** A word-for-word translation that retains the literary style of the ESV while adapting the text to British English spelling standards. * **New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised (NRSVA):** Widely used in academic and ecumenical settings, this edition incorporates British spelling conventions. * **Good News Translation Anglicised (GNT):** A highly readable, thought-for-thought translation utilizing British English. ## How to Compare Standard and Anglicized Translations
If you want to see the exact differences between a standard American translation and its Anglicized counterpart, you can use the parallel reading feature on Bible Gateway. To do this, search for a passage using your primary translation. Once the passage is displayed, look for the "Add parallel" icon (represented by two side-by-side columns) near the top right of the scripture text pane. Clicking this icon opens a second column. In the new column, use the translation selector to choose the Anglicized version of the same translation. This allows for a direct, line-by-line comparison of the spelling and stylistic differences. ## Saving Your Preferences To avoid searching for your preferred Anglicized translation every time you visit the site, you can set a default Bible version. If you create a free personal account on the platform, you can save your preferences in your account settings. Once saved, the site will automatically load your chosen Anglicized translation whenever you search for a passage or log in from any device. If you prefer not to create an account, the site will often remember your last used translation via browser cookies, provided you do not clear your browsing history.
