Rhapsody of Realities, a devotion publication, has now been translated in 7,000 languages, says the Director of Operations, LoveWorld Publishing, Pastor Lola Aisida.
The Rhapsody of Realities, a publication of LoveWorld Publishing Ltd., is a daily devotional, authored by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome of The Christ Embassy.
Aisida said that 42 per cent of the 7,139 languages spoken world-wide were endangered, but the publication of the Rhapsody of Realities in 7,000 languages was to ensure that no language went into extinction.
She said on Friday that with the 7,000 languages translation, Rhapsody of Realities was now the most translated book in the world.
According to her, of the 7,000 languages translated, 520 are Nigerian dialects, exceeding the 502 officially listed languages in Nigeria.
”Never in the history of the world, and in all the record books of Guinness Book of World Records, has any literary material – be it document, film, writing, book, or any piece of historical or modern parchment – been translated into 7,000 languages.
”The meteoric rise of the Rhapsody of Realities devotional to the most-coveted spot as the world’s No. 1 daily devotional and now Most Translated Book in the world began with first edition published in the English Language by LoveWorld Publishing.
”Twenty-two years after, LoveWorld Publishing has grown into a vast network of publishers spread across several countries,” she said.
The director said that the work of translation was deployed by a massive army of translators, who applied due diligence processes in delivering Rhapsody of Realities to all the 7,000 languages.
