Is there any way to make the translation tool work on non-English text in footnotes?
Checking it out, I learned that Translate has gone bonkers. I'm in page-view, Hebrew Encyclopedia. I was going to try Translate on the footnotes.
That's when I noticed it goes into auto-translate, paging automatically! I've been watching it, to see if it runs out of translate-fuel. Luckily I don't care.
But yes … arriving at footnotes, no can do, even automatically. It refuses, calling up wrong target language. English to english, which works on non-footnotes.
As I reply, it's still translating (english into english). Time for lunch … maybe it'll take a break.
This is rather annoying. The footnotes in the book I'm reading at present have fairly long untranslated German quotations. I can work through them, but I don't know if it's worth struggling with the words I don't know as they are, afterall, just footnotes. But it's frustrating to have an automatic translation tool that I can't access for this portion of the text.
This exposes further shortcomings in how Logos handles footnotes. I read most books in paged view with the footnotes shown at the bottom. Nothing can be done with the text—no selection, no right-click menu. I can click the footnote in the main body of the text for the pop-up, and through that I can then access the right-click menu for reporting typos etc. (which in itself is a bit too much work). The translation tool however does not work even that way. I guess I can then copy and paste into Google—but I won't.
Why do the Highlighting Pallets' colours have an "A" in front of them? Both Foreground and Solid colours. Can I change them to other letters?
Where is the biblical event navigator?
I am looking for all the words translated as "fish" in the book of John. In Accordance I can set the range and type "fish" and the analysis shows me there are three different words translated as "fish" in 9 verses. In Logos, by contrast, if I type "fish" I can't figure out how to see the forms. I understand I can do a…
The Logos initial screen comes up, but then closes. Any suggestions?
