The translation of the Bible into Cape Verdean Creole has entered a phase of technical preparation and linguistic standardisation, said Father Ricardo Monteiro, a member of the translation commission, to the Inforpress news agency. He was speaking at a seminar that ended this week in Praia.
The project seeks to respect the Bible’s original languages while taking account of the different variants of Creole spoken on the islands. Since January 2026, the commission has developed tools deemed necessary for this stage, Monteiro said.
