Description
So far, I have been able to install this module and edit the .inc file to default to the Portuguese version of the Bible. My question is, how can I edit the books of the Bible to reflect the Portuguese spelling? Specifically, with regards to accent marks and such. For example, in Portuguese, Genesis is written Gênesis. When I edited the $book_regex to the Portuguese spelling, it broke the filter.
I say that in some of the code, the is a ? mark in the name. What exactly does this do? Is it some sort of wild card?
I am new to PHP, so forgive me if there is an obvious answer.

My guess is that this issue is caused by the usage of preg_replace on line 62 of scripturefilter.inc. preg_replace is not multibyte compatible, and therefor doesn't gracefully handle some unicode characters. Try changing the preg_replace on line 62 of scripturefilter.inc to a mb_ereg_replace() function call, which plays nice with multibyte characters.
If this works for you I'm sure the original author would love it if you submit a patch which fixes the issue.

Thank you very much.
I'll try that out and if/when I can get it working... I'll be sure to submit the patch.
Merry Christmas.
