Larry,
The BOW pages are not yet published. Our posting of the draft of the IOC spreadsheets (IOC "red") is done as a preliminary release generally as a preview of things soon to come, and to seek comments about any obvious infelicities. So, all you can download at this time is the IOC 11.1 red spreadsheet which is the first option on the Master Lists page.

Hope this helps.

David

There is a note (here) about retiring the BOW pages for 11.1. Have you decided against this?

In 11.1 we will be experimenting with replacing the traditional BOW pages with a single, searchable, Google sheet copy of the Life List+ Excel spreadsheet that is also downloadable on the Master Lists page. Preparing the traditional BOW sheets has been extremely time-intensive, complex to set up, error prone, and subject to multiple revisions before we get it "right." We are not sure that we are in a position to sustain it going forward.

Will there be a multilingual version? it will be very useful for me to know the name of a bird that I miss

Isn't the scientific name enough?

No, my birdlist gives scientific and French names. I'm working on a big project and I need new French names for each new recognised taxa. In this case, here, Herpsilochmus frater which is missing 🤷

Well, that is something new, normaly they want English names. Keep in mind those names in national languages have no status.

With this I c;lose my part of the discussion on "native" names

Speak for yourself English speakers but for us, frog leg eaters, they are more important than latin names because the majority of us refer to common names, at least in France 🙃

So, I would have no other choice than to create its name

The Multilingual version of the IOC World Bird List will continue, as it always has been, as a downloadable spreadsheet on the Master Lists page. As many on Bird Forum are aware, it is maintained by Peter Kovalik.

Yes, the more important among the files

Jimmy, Herpsilochmus frater is Grisin de Sclater by Michel Gosselin & Normand David, 2021. Missing French names in IOC 11.1.

It's exactly the name I choose for it before your reply and it was obviously that it has its name. Thanks for the confirmation

I guess that Myiomela sumatrana is Myiomèle de Sumatra

One thing, we will have to solve this problem related to downloads. Google tells us that it's impossible to download the files

In the past I could not get them to download using Microsoft Edge but they worked fine if I switched to Chrome. This year Edge works fine.

I've found a way to download using Chrome (it also doesn't work for me to just click on it normally). Right click on the link and select either "open in new window" or "open in new tab" and it will download.

Google Chrome worked fine for me, which possibly indicates a glitch on the previous Google update...

Preparing the traditional BOW sheets has been extremely time-intensive, complex to set up, error prone, and subject to multiple revisions before we get it "right."

An alternative is to link to the anchors in a single large Google Sheets page. This wouldn't require complex setup. All it needs is the sheet and row number added as anchor. Links could be set up for orders and families from the orders of birds and family index pages.

A link to the position of the current sheets used by the BOW menu would look like this:

https://www.worldbirdnames.org/new/bow/nightjars/#1435433996R1625

https://www.worldbirdnames.org/new/bow/nightjars/#1435433996R1625

where 1435433996 is the sheet number and 1625 is the row (minus one).

The following would link to family Nyctibiidae:

https://www.worldbirdnames.org/new/bow/nightjars/#1435433996R1671

Frogmouths, Oilbird, potoos, nightjars – IOC World Bird List

​

​

This could be used to redirect the family links of form https://www.worldbirdnames.org/Family/Struthionidae, which stopped working on after the switch to the embedded Google sheets.

These links work properly in Chrome and Edge. There is a problem in Firefox where they link to the position on the parent page where the row would be if not embedded in the scrollable frame containing the google sheet.

In the multilingue file, the French name of Pnoepyga mutica is erroneously named "Turdinule" de Chine instead of Microure de Chine. Please tell Gosselin to fix this typo
