Feature: Interlinear Options on Android

Interlinear Options on Android

You can customize which original language content the resource displays.

What is it?

You can now choose to see several different interlinear lines on conventional interlinear resources.

How to access it?

Open the Logos mobile app on iPad or Android tablet.
Open any conventional interlinear book, for example: Lexham Greek-English Interlinear NT
Click the kebab menu (three vertical dots) in the top right corner of the book in Reading View
Click "View Settings"
Scroll down to the bottom of the "View Settings" menu and select "Interlinear Lines"

Note

This is available in Starter packages and above.
This is only accessible with interlinear resources.

We’d love to hear your thoughts on this new feature. Please provide your feedback in the comments below.

Thanks! It used to annoy me that you couldn't change that without changing the desktop settings.

I tried to do this on my android tablet, and it still does not give the option for interlinear lines.

Also, the version of Logos on the Google play store says last updated on Sept 29th?

The Android App on the Playstore doesn't not seem different at all since Logos 10 has been released. What's going on?

Hi Jordan,

Please make sure that your iPhone or iPad has iOS 14.1 or higher- this article explains how to check. If you have an older version, you can check and see if an update is available.

Once you have made sure that you have iOS 14.1 or higher, please use these instructions to uninstall and then re-install our App from the App Store.

Hi Jordan, the update for Logos 10 is available in the Google Play Store now. Does this link work for you to be able to update?

Once you've updated, you'll be able to see the interlinear options at the bottom of the View Settings menu on any convention interlinear resource.

I definitely don't see that option in my iPhone SE with iOS 16, and I do have the Starter pack. The only items available under the "This Resource" section are: Bible Text Only, Show Community Notes, and Show Notes/Highlights. I have also upgraded my Logos app to 10. What am I missing?

Hi JO,

This tool does not work for all resources, and does not work for all interlinears. It does not work for Reverse Interlinears. It only works for for conventional interlinears.

In conventional interlinears, the main text and the interlinear text display line by line in a direct word to word correspondence. Reverse Interlinears are different, because we "scramble" the Greek/Hebrew words so that they line up with the English translation.

Sorry if the above explanation is confusing rather than clarifying. You can learn more about interlinears here.

Since you own the Starter, you certainly own some Reverse Interlinears. However, it is quite possible you do not own any conventional interlnears yet.

Here is a partial list of some conventional interlinears that this tool should work with:

Complete Biblical Library Interlinear Bible: New Testament
Complete Biblical Library Interlinear Bible: Old Testament
The Lexham Greek-English Interlinear New Testament
The Lexham Latin-English Interlinear Vulgate
The Lexham Greek-English Interlinear Septuagint: Rahlfs Edition
The Lexham Greek-English Interlinear Septuagint: H.B. Swete Edition
The Lexham Hebrew-English Interlinear Bible
The Lexham Greek-English Interlinear New Testament: SBL Edition
The Lexham Dead Sea Scrolls Hebrew-English Interlinear Bible
Nestle-Aland Greek New Testament, 27th Edition with McReynolds English Interlinear
The Apostolic Fathers Greek-English Interlinear
The Interlinear Literal Translation of the Greek New Testament

Adding to Joe's list, for others that are just wondering, mobile's support of 'conventional interlinears" (but not reverse, yet), includes Josephus, Pseudepigraphical, Philo, and even Canaanite inscriptions, if you have those interlinears. Quite handy.

I wish this feature would be added for those of us who are lay Bible students and don't need/can't afford a higher version of Logos. I have the free software version but a very large library since I've come through buy-outs of several Bible software programs over many years, most recently Logos buying Wordsearch. I own the NIV reverse interlinear, and it works great on my Free desktop version of Logos, but not on my Android. And apparently even if I had a higher version of Logos that would support interlinear on Android, it wouldn't work on reverse interlinears.

I understand the business reasons for including more advanced features in higher versions, but reverse interlinear is a pretty basic need for those of us who care about the original languages but have no knowledge of them. Please, Logos?
