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.

I'm reading my first book by Steven Runge (Romans) and am learning so much. I looked on Logos and then online to see if he had anything out on Ephesians which I am studying with my church. I found a listing on Best Commentaries that showed an Ephesians version published in 2018 but was not able to find anything else about…
I do a lot of traveling and I have no access to Internet in some cases. Is there a downloadable version of the app?
Any of the collections worth getting?
I am presently using a MacBook Pro for home use, and an iPad 10 for using Logos out of the home. I sometimes get frustrated with the limitations of the iPad Logos version. I am considering getting a Mac Air. I don't want to overbuy. I take care of and keep my electronic devices for a long time. For those who have the Mac…
As already asked here (but presumably buried in the thread), I would like to know from @Logos / Verbum officials, a) If Study Assistant in Verbum behaves differently from Study Assistant in Logos (given the fact that Verbum is marketed as a Catholic App). Or does that only depend on my personal inventory of resources, many…
