Is there any possiblility to add in Logos 4 a German-english dictionary? and visversa that might be very helpful:
I could use one. I've forgotten the majority of my German.
I am glad that the Luther bible is available but, I think ,not only the dictionary it self,it might be helpful to inlude some references as well.
Some time back I submitted a "Suggestion" (aka "Request") that a German-English dictionary be added. I even suggested that Logos add The Collins Concise German - English Dictionary. In L3 I could hover on a German word and click a hot key to bring up the definition. For some reason that functionality disappeared in L4 - I now have to type the word into the Collins search box. BUT, Logos already has the Collins Latin - English Dictionary, so why not add the Collins German - English Dictionary? This would be a great help for those of us with the Stuttgart Electronic Study Bible.
Grace, mercy, and peace,
Steve

That functionality (at least for words for which you have the appropriate dictionary in your Library, which wouldn't include German right now) has been merged into the multi-functional right-click menu in L4. So now you can right-click on a word, make sure "Selection" is the tab selected on the right side of the popup menu, and then choose "Look up" on the left:
EDIT: Even without a complete German dictionary, if you right-click in L4 to look up German terms that you come across in theological works, it is quite likely you'll find them in a resource like The Concise Dictionary of Christian Theology, or the Pocket Dictionary for the Study of New Testament Greek. The latter in particular has lots of German terms defined. Unfortunately it's not available by itself but only as part of the Essential IVP Reference Collection, but that is a great collection worth buying for everything in it.
Would you be interested in a public domain German-English dictionary? If so, does anyone know what the best one is? There are several at Google Books and Open Library. Let me know, and we'll see about getting something up on Community Pricing.
Hey, Phil,
I was afraid you guys in Bellingham would never join in on this conversation. Many thanks for doing so:-)
I'd be delighted to start the bidding on a public domain German dictionary on Community Pricing.
But I'm no help on which dictionary to go for, apart from making sure it is not in the (old) Gothic font.
Thank you again for a capital idea.
I'm not familiar with the public domain dictionaries so I would hesitate to make a recommendation on those.Of course, the ideal would be to have Oxford-Duden but it is not public domain.I, for one, would be willing to pay for it.

That one's on the list, but until we can get it, perhaps a public domain dictionary would be sufficient. Anything is better than our current offerings.

I am also interested,but I do'nt know how to involve in the public domain.
I have a very good dictionary from DUDEN OXFORD ''Grosswoerterbuch Englisch '' PC-Bibliothek version 2.0 mit Plus-paket '' this is english-German visversa ,it is a good one,if can choose either english or German ,if you want a German word you can have it in english ,if you want German you can have it in english.even though I own this ,still I am ready to buy ,if it will be comatible to the Logos software.
I bought it before 8 years,I do't know wether there is an upgrade of it.
