BUG: BWS Translation ring option doesn't take

Run a BWS on a Greek word. The Septuagint Translation ring works as expected. However, the Translation ring gives me an option of Logos LXX which I would expect to display the deuterocanonicals where Greek is the original language. I understand why it doesn't as there is no translation surface text. However, although shown as an option, trying to enter it consistently takes me back to my default Bible. So why is it listed as an option when it is not a legitimate  option.

    My comment is complete ignorance!

    But following Christian's example, I put LES2 in the translation ring, and 1935 Logos LXX in the Septuagint ring.  Both look at the OT:  one 1178 occurances (LES2; includes apocrpha) and the other 978 (1935 Logos LXX; no apocrypha).

    But before I did that, my experience was as you and Graham describe ... choosing a Swete or Logos did nothing (in the Translation ring).

    Yes, but it is not a translation! Elsewhere the Greek is a translation from Hebrew and will appear in the Septuagint Section  i.e.

    This section displays a graph of Hebrew words that are translated by the Greek word being studied as found in the Septuagint.

    LES/LES2 will provide a Translation for the deuterocanonicals.

    Yes, I figured that out when I took a break to watch a PBS show.

    Thanks. I've created a case to fix the problem.
