Latin words linking to dictionary?

I had to put this in the Logos 5 beta forum as Logos 5 is all I am running now, and I am not sure if it's a Logos 5 problem or something else...

I have a Latin text Personal Book, the book is compiled with language set to Latin, and I verified it in my Library view. But when I right click on a Latin word to look it up, my Dictionary of Latin Forms is not an option on the context menu left-side as it is with Logos resources. Is this a bug, something I have done wrong, or a capability not supported in Personal Books?

    The language set in the Personal Books panel is mostly informative (for queries in the Library); the language of text in the resource comes from the language applied to that text inside the Word document. (This lets you mix English, Latin, French, etc. in one resource.)

    To set it, select your Latin text in your Word document, on the Review tab choose Language > Set Proofing Language, then select Latin in the list. Do this for every block of Latin text.

    Bradley, I didn't notice till another user pointed out, when I did this in a fairly short document (45 pages or so in Word), I get 862 warnings of

    It seems to work but maybe something is confused in code?
