I own resources in English and German e.g. by Irenaeus, but they appear under differnt names. Is it possible to merge these?
You need to explain what you mean by "merge". e.g. you can relate them by putting them in the same Series or by tagging them.

I would like Logos to decide for one version of an author's name, e.g. "Irenaeus Lugdunensis (140-202)", and assign it to each and all works by this author, so that only this one version shows up in my library containing all of the author's works (see green arrow in the screenshot below taken from an university OPAC).
Other versions of the name could be carried in other data fields (see red arrow in the screenshot below).
Citavi, a third party library program, allows the user to merge names by himself:
I would prefer the first solution (done by Logos), but I would be also happy with the second one (done by the user).

I think a better solution was visible in the older Factbook format and in the handling of Bible book names - the recognition of synonyms via a reference table. Using a fixed name doesn't work well across alphabets and writing systems, Think Asian market.
I like MJ's solution better - and actually Logos uses a unique numerical identifier per author (as can be seen from shop searches) and thus would be able to facilitate that easily.

Sorry, I don't understand. What are you pointing out with "that"?
the merging of different author names under one ID. It would be easy if the ID is a (meaningless and already existing) number and all spellings and variants of the name are just attributes of that ID.

I know logos is able to print up flash cards, BUT can we get a tool that does flash cards?! I’m envisioning a simple displays Hebrew/Greek/Aramaic/Ugaritic/etc. word then touch screen/click, ‘turn’ card then definition. I don’t know how this doesn’t already exist. Ideally this would include frequency word lists that we…
The static set of Reading Plans are insufficient and the ability to create our own custom reading plans is needed. Reading plans need to be self-created, customizable and sharable with others. A reading plan keeps one in the Word, but linear or sequential and fixed time-frames is not flexible enough. A reading plan should…
Logos might consider bundling commentaries that are specific to a book or area of study. For instance, if a pastor or Sunday School teacher were considering teaching through "Genesis", a single package could exist where many of the relevant commentaries might be found. This way a person could build a gradual library of…
As an Active Duty service member Logos (which I have spent thousand on) has become mostly useless to me since the migration to the Subscription model.
