This document gives details of the translation choices for YHWH, ʾelohim and kurios that have been made in each of 31 translation projects across Papua New Guinea, and the issues that they have faced. The list is ordered alphabetically. This is a companion document to the paper ‘Perspectives on Translating Yahweh in Papua New Guinea’ (in press, through 'The Bible Translator'), giving fuller information for the summaries presented there.
