Please reference the following thread: http://community.logos.com/forums/t/19533.aspx

This tool would produce the word or words used to translate a single Greek or Hebrew word in one verse only and in user-selected Bible versions. It would be best to group these by translated word with the versions listed that use that word/words.

For example Greek macrothumia in 2 Timothy 3:10:

Patience

NIV  NLT  NRSV  NAS  ESV  LEB

Longsuffering

NKJV, AV 1873, KJV

This would enable a fast comparison of how a single word is translated by different translators in one place (a chosen verse).

It would be ideal to make this available for all Bibles, but that would seem to require all be made into Reverse Interlinears. This would be one reason to expand the number of versions now available as RIs even if we can't have them all that way.

    I was thinking I'd seen something close to this recently, but I don't remember where. Is it implemented?

    It is already available in the translations section in the information window, unless I am misunderstanding your suggestion.

    Information Tool already has Definition and Translation sections:

    Thanks - that is where it is. I didn't think to look in the Information Tool as I tend to think of all its data being present elsewhere.
