How to use Chinese Journal Reader

Six short steps, from installing the program to studying your first article.

Marillion Chinese Journal Reader with an article open on the left and the scriptures and notes on the right — An article with pinyin and English on the left, the scriptures and your notes on the right.

Before you start

The program doesn't come with any journals or Bibles. You download them yourself, free, as PDF files from jw.org, into your Downloads folder. Then you bring them into the program with its Open Downloads button. Always get both the Chinese and the English one:

	Chinese	English (for comparison)
Bible (once)	`nwt_CHS.pdf`	`nwt_E.pdf`
Watchtower (each month)	`w_CHS_202608.pdf` or the pinyin edition	`w_E_202608.pdf` the same month

Download the revised Bible, not the study edition. Choose the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (2013 Revision) for both languages. The Chinese study edition can only be downloaded as JWPUB, not as PDF, so the program can't use it. The verses are the same in both.

Install the program: download the Setup and run it.
Add the Bibles: the Chinese and the English Bible, once.
Add the journals: each month's Chinese Watchtower with the English one of the same month.
Study an article: click words for their English, click scriptures to read them.
English of a sentence: compare a sentence with the English Watchtower.
Notes, Library and more: paragraph notes, your saved articles, printing and backing up.
