In the WT publication below of 2017, Lessons You Can Learn From the Bible in Spanish, you can see that the Society is quoting or basing their Scriptures on the 2013 English Edition. Some have been paraphrased. Which leads me to believe that they are well ahead in the translation of this Revised Edition.
Las citas bíblicas se han traducido de la versión en
lenguaje moderno Traducción del Nuevo Mundo de
las Santas Escrituras (edición del 2013 en inglés).

Muchas de ellas han sido parafraseadas para que
los niños puedan comprenderlas más fácilmente.

Corney,

Thanks for bringing this up. I went to jw.org and checked various language pages, and when I saw the Gray Bible, I assumed it was revised. I was wrong. Apparently, the WT is also using gray color for previous editions.

Now, those with dates on the list, I think are revisions, as I saw them on their website. I myself downloaded the Greek version of 2017. Also, there is this other list: https://www.jw.org/download/?fileformat=PDF&output=html&pub=nwt&option=TRGCHlZRQVNYVrXF

Not sure if this is up to date, though.

Drearyweather,

I was looking at the 2015 Service Report which had one publisher in Bangladesh for 631,355. I rounded it off to 7,000. Is your number based on a newer report?

One more thing, do all countries work on voluntary donations, or are there still some on the old method of charging for the literature? I ask just in case there is a correlation between donations in the decision making for publishing or not publishing the Bible in speedier delivery for different countries.

Does anyone know for sure?

SBF,

The Russian web page shows the Gray Bible, but not in front page. In the case of Polish and Finnish languages, those two have a reputation of being complex. They may need more time, unless is cost again for the delay.

slimboyfat,

You may be right that the WT is holding back from releasing the NWT in these three popular languages.

I doubt very much that their delay is due to technical difficulties in the translation process. The may have put less people to work on these languages, comparatively speaking. Releasing the Spanish version, in particular, will be costly.

Jehovah’s Witnesses have been successful in attracting members of other churches in the Western world, mainly Catholic.

Here in the US, JWs hardly make a convert from Evangelical Protestants. Their growth comes from immigrants mainly.

JWs have a dismal record in countries where Islam predominates. With the exception of a few countries like Japan, Philippines, and Korea, their record in making converts in the Middle and Far East are very poor. Even in Israel, after so many decades in presence there, they have only like 15 hundred publishers. In Bangladesh, they only have one publisher for every 7 thousand people (7,000).

slimboyfat,

I obtained the info directly from the jw.org website. The info is scattered, I don’t think it is in one page though.

smiddy3,

The NWT is available in Urdu language (Pakistan); Indonesian (Revised Edition - 2017), and Arabic, as noted above (Qatar & Saudi Arabia both use Arabic.)

I see no NWT in Bangladesh in their language Bengali. Very few Witnesses there (perhaps less than 300 publishers in a land with 163 million people). The Witnesses have hardly a presence in Bangladesh.
