How do I make Logos look up German definitions?
Comments
One idea is using Headword Search to see what resource(s) have German Headwords.
Apologies since my library does not have => https://www.logos.com/product/33539/modern-theological-german-a-reader-and-dictionary so lack a German dictionary (do have English and Spanish-English dictionaries).
Community Pricing for German-English dictionary => https://www.logos.com/product/55071/heaths-german-and-english-dictionary needs many more bids.
Keep Smiling [:)]
There's a new blog series on Logos Academic on working with German resources. The first part doesn't quite deal with the question raised here in the thread, but maybe it will come up in the future.

Jan, thanks for the link to the LAB.
Thanks Jan, I will check it out. FYI, the specific issue here turns out to be an error in tagging for the resources in question. Logos is now on it and it should be fixed in the Dec 24 release. https://community.logos.com/forums/p/176551/1020107.aspx#1020107
I know this is outside of Logos but until we have more German-English resources, you may find QTranslate helpful (if you don't know of it already).
You can set it so that it gives you instant translation of words or sentences when you select text with your mouse.
I had not heard of this tool Sadly, it only works on a Windows system. If anyone is aware of a Mac alternative, let me know.I know this is outside of Logos but until we have more German-English resources, you may find QTranslate helpful (if you don't know of it already).

Hi JR:
If you double-click the word, Logos should open the entry in your highest priority dictionary that has that word, which would presumably be your German dictionary. [Edit] If you have the Information window open, it should provide the definition (maybe truncated) when you either single-click the word or mouse-over the word, depending on your Info window options.
[Edit] In the mobile app, long-press, choose Info, then press Search. One of the hits should be your German dictionary.

If something that basic worked, I would not be asking.
Maybe someone who is not guessing, but actually has this working has an idea.
Thanks,

Perhaps take a real deep breath, and be polite. After all, Robert does not work for the company.
I have it working for Spanish exactly as Robert M. Warren described. Please put a dictionary with German headwords as an index at the very top of you priorities then use the paperclip to show us what you get in the information panel and dictionary if opened. That will give us the information necessary to resolve your problem.

Hi MJ,
I put MTG as my first book as the top prioritized book, and no love. I even tried to apply this book just the the LB1912. Still no results. Not sure if one of these sources or the other is not tagged for this purpose.

It seems Logos only wants to bring Calwer Bibellexikon: Biblisches Handwörterbuch illustriert into the info panel for definitions.

I also note that if I try to assign MTGD to a specific language in the advanced prioritization settings, only English comes up as an option. Does this mean the book is not tagged for "German"?

Robert,
I apologize for the offense. My answer was curt and direct to the problem, but lacking courtesy.
