Topics Section in Dual Language???

Hi,

I will like to know if it is possible to get the Topics section of the passage guide to display the list of topics in english and spanish, both at the same time without having to change the interface language (I like to use the program in english).

There are topics that get repeated on each language, for example "arrepentimiento" / repentance. But the spanish resources don’t necessarily get displayed under the english topic item and vice versa. Strangely, sometimes I got topics that display spanish and english resources even when using the interface in english.

There are also topics that are exclusively listed for each language (interface). So I have to change the language for the interface and restart logos each time to get those. I want to have this so I can conveniently get all the resource from where the topics are generated either, in spanish or english. At this moment I'm looking at the topic section but it will be nice to do the same for each section if applicable. Curious because for the commentary section I got all the commentary resources listed, regardless of their language. Of course, the commentary section is not generating a list of items; it just displays the commentary resources.

On a different topic, but somehow related, when I go to program settings to change the language, I notice that Brazilian portuguese and swedish are listed as available interface languages. I didn't choose to install those and I don't use theme. How can I remove that?

Looking at Topics section did not see any settings for language.

Wonder about creating another OS user, then install Logos 4 for that user. One user could have English interface while the other user has Spanish interface.

If have license for virtual Windows use, could have virtual machine(s), which are a bit easier for copy and paste. Another alternative is installing Logos 4 on two computers, then using remote desktop on one computer to connect to the other. Essentially have Logos 4 running at the same time using two installations with different user interface languages.

Commentaries tend to be versified so a Bible reference can be found across languages.

Apologies: as a user, do not know how to remove other interface languages. Am aware of other programs (e.g. LibreOffice) that has custom installation options so can interface language(s) for installation.

Thanks for your help.

Couple of things that I noticed:

1) There was a "more..." hyperlink at the end of the list. Guess what? you click on that and you get more results, duh!

2) The number of results are proportional to the amount of verses you ask the Passage Guide to process, duh!

With all that, I still get different items/resources listed when I change the interface language and I have to add the [illustrations] section as another section with the same behavior.

The dual computer/virtual machine/multiple user account thing sounds very fancy but... thanks but not thanks [;)] My laptop is not powerful enough and that's all what I have.

Just to satisfy my curiosity, if you create another account and install Logos for that user, are all the resources get duplicated in your hard drive?

Assuming they connect to Logos using the same username / password combination then yes

Effectively entire Logos 4 folder contents are duplicated. Since Logos 4 Mac embeds full path to resource files in SQLite database, copying Logos 4 folders between users does not work. Thankful can use scan command in one Logos 4 installation to copy resource updates from another Logos 4 installation.

Running virtual machines does need adequate hardware resources (especially memory and disk). Some laptops can now use 16 GB RAM.
