I have been nagging for years about the need to read the Bible in the translation to which the author refers only to be shot down by the amount of work required to implement such a feature. Now I have a concrete proposal on how to implement it that is similar to features already in Logos and doesn't require significant retagging by Logos.
- Add an icon/feature similar to the parallel/equivalent resources to the resource panel.
- Connect it to a new list/collection feature that shows selected Bible references in the following order:
- User's preferred Bible
- Author's translation within the same volume to which the list/collection is applied
- Translations in the sequence listed in the front matter giving information on the source of Scripture quotations
- Translations referenced in the text but not in front material
Allow navigation similar to the parallel resources to scroll through the translations for a reference in the text. [author's translation may need to be an annotation dependent on the user to find the translation text].
Make these lists/collections community built as needed.
Of course, the brilliant minds at Faithlife may be able to refine this idea based on their knowledge of the inner workings of the system. I'm always available for immediate testing [8-|]
