Missing OT Interlinears: NIV, NLT, & LEB

Terry M. Moore

I have L4 Platinum. When it came out it included licenses for OT interlinears for the NIV (1984) and the NLT, along with a statement that the resources would be updated when the interlinears were completed. Is there any word when these updated resources will be available? I see on the L5 upgrade page that the NIV 2011 OT is complete, but evidently still not for the 1984.

Also, can anyone tell me what I need to get the OT interlinear to work in the LEB? It presently only works in the NT.

Thanks!

NIV - not complete  http://community.logos.com/forums/p/54057/393795.aspx#393795

LEB  - not complete

NLT?

It would be good to hear from Rick on all these.

Hi Dave

Thanks for pointing to the NIV thread from earlier. The LEB is in a similar situation; the LEB NT is and has been complete for awhile and is being distributed, the OT is getting closer. I have high hopes they'll both be ready in Q1 2013.

On the NLT: There is nothing to report. Before we shipped L4 (yes, that's a '4', not a typo), we received assurances from a contractor that both the NT and the OT would be complete, hence the inclusion of the licenses in L4 three years ago. We have only ever received the NT, and have implemented it. Complicating the matter is that these were being done with the cooperation of the publisher, so we can't really go out and just replace/redo the OT. We're a bit hamstrung, and there is no imminent solution. I wish there was better news. I think (don't know; this is deduction on my part) we included the license just to be consistent with L4 licenses, and so that if it ever does materialize, folks will just get it.

A general note on OT reverse interlinears: Some of my general responsibilities at Logos have changed a bit in the past months. I'm now the 'lead' for our 'Core Texts' efforts. Core Texts == original language versions of texts canonical by some tradition (though other secondary literature, e.g. Josephus, Philo, Apostolic Fathers, etc.,  is included as well), their annotation (lemma/morph/syntax/etc.), translation, and alignment; as well as other things. This means I'm stepping in and picking up these OT reverse interlinears, and trying to see them through to completion. Previously, my focus was on Greek and NT related things.

Anyway, I say that so that you and others can know that we (Logos) want to get these alignments in particular completed and have taken (and are taking) steps to get them to the finish line. They (NIV & LEB, in particular) have had many speed bumps, some caused by us, others not. But we want to get them done, and we want to deliver them to users.

Rick, I will try to be patient. Please add me in on the ones who sorely want the NIV interlinear. Thanks!
