Translation Tool

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Dear Logos team:

Since the software implemented the “translation” tool, I have enriched my library by acquiring English resources, as I do not speak English. However, for several months now, I have been requesting that you incorporate in this feature the possibility to adjust the size of the translated text.

The current typography of the translations is too small for my eyesight, and due to certain visual limitations I have, this significantly hinders my reading experience.

It would be a great help if you would consider this improvement, as it would not only benefit my particular case, but could optimize accessibility for all users.

I remain attentive to your comments and thank you in advance for your attention.

I like your proposition, but - I don't speak Spanish - the translation at the left in the screenshot isn't congruent with the english text on the right?

I thought Andrew queried accessibility issues recently?

Go to the three-dot menu (top-right) > Program Settings > Text Display.

Move the Content Scaling slider to 150%. This scales all text (Bibles, commentaries, translated text, etc.) to 150% of the default size.

Adjust Bible Panel Text Size:
- In the Bible panel, click the panel menu (three horizontal lines in the top-right corner of that panel).
- Locate the text size slider (a horizontal bar with plus/minus icons or a percentage indicator).
- Slide it to adjust the font size for that Bible panel only. For example, move it to 120% or 200%—whatever size you prefer.
- This change applies only to that Bible panel, leaving all other resources (e.g., commentaries, Auto Translate output) at the 150% global scaling.

Verify:
- Open another resource (e.g., a commentary or the Passage Guide) and confirm its text remains at 150%, while the Bible panel reflects your new size.

@Renold Burke
Go to the three-dot menu (top-right) > Program Settings > Text Display.
Move the Content Scaling slider to 150%.

This should be :

Go to the three-dot menu (top-right of Logos Window) > Program Settings > Accessibility
Change the Content Scaling to 140% (there is no slider)

The instruction to adjust the Bible panel text size assumes the old toolbar. If on subscription, click View and adjust the Zoom value

This problem does not exist on Windows but exclusively on Mac... I have a Windows Pc and the font size adapts very well. But my wife, who's on a Mac, has the same problem as you...
I'm French and don't read English as well as I'd like, so I often use the logos automatic translator. But before this Logos update, I was using the Deepl translator installed on my PC. It's very good too, and I recommend that you install it.

My settings (Macbook):
*BDAG 80%

*Translation Tool 150% (Program setting, scaling 150%)

Thanks for the report @Jimmy Hernandez F and apologies for the disruption. We do have a case for this issue and plan to address it in the future.
