Talk:Bible translations into French

This page is incomplete
The French wikipedia page on which this article was based has sections for the 19th, 20th and 21st century translations. This English page needs a lot more additions to bring it up to date. DFH (talk) 08:05, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Which Bible was the de facto standard?
The Jerusalem Bible didn't appear until the 1950s. So in the first half of the 20th century, was there a Bible translation which was the de facto standard used throughout France (at least by Catholics) - in the same way that the Authorized Version was dominant in Britain? Or were there a variety of competing translations? Is there a canonical or traditional form of words in which famous passages are quoted? For example, if a French person wanted to say "let there be light" or "let he that is without sin cast the first stone", would they quote a particular famous/traditional translation? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.180.11.34 (talk) 16:58, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
