Interlinear Translation Editor addin?

I think it was part of some addin for Libronix, but I haven't been able to figure out which one. I don't have this document type available myself in my installation of Libronix. I'll ask someone I know at Logos who works on interlinears.

Robert, I post links to specific videos when I want people to see them. I don't care what their browsing experience is of my entire repository of videos up there. That's not the purpose of my using that site to store videos. Sorry about that for you. I don't have time to keep it organized.

It seems that removing the vid might be closing the door after the horse is out. Obviously, interlinears are still being produced, which means the addin is available. Since it is available, and there is interest, it would seem appropriate for Logos to consider the desires of their customers, and maybe even make some money. I'm already considering how much this might be worth to me. And, IF it becomes part of 4.5b,c,d or 4.6, so much the better.

So, take down the vid if you must, but don't lose it. Corporate wisdom just might find a use for it with their customers.

When we re-write our interlinear editor for Logos 4 (no date yet) my plan is to find a way to make it available to users, too. I hope we'll be able to make several specialized editors available. I know the audience is small, but for people who care the tools are awesome.

Define - Awesome-?

If available I would buy it in a heartbeat.  Seems to be better than SIL's FLEx and even Paratext.

But don't hold your breath. Logos will never offer it for sale, sorry to say.

What do You think of getting the RSV Reverse Interlinear New Testament on a strain budget?

I don't like any of the translations with RI:s that I have since before. But the RSV isn't perfect either and not the best translation. Logos is newer going to make a RI NT of the best translation. Logos doesn't come out with new RI:s very often, so it's not a big cost in the long run to take the ones that are interesting:

however, ............. if one has a good Reverse Interlinear Bible, is it really worth the cost of another one? Or, do other resources take precedence?

I'm not that pleased with it! I think the RSV and REB are much better, especially the latter. Yes, they charge separately for the Apocrypha (I saw it when it was on pre-pub but had started to move away from it) and I think the REB Apocrypha is better except for parts of Sirach:

What about the NRSV!

Right now I'm trying to get my total open pre-pub orders below $1,580. I'm at $1,583.35 having cancelled three items today.

Almost two years later, and one major revision, and i was wondering whether anything had come of this?

We are actively working on an Interlinear Editor for the current platform, primarily for internal use, but with an eye towards making it available to users, too. The new editor is much more capable than the one shown in the old video.

                     Thanks very kindly indeed for sharing that!           Appreciated!                You and your personal loved ones and the Logos Bible Software "family"  -- "team"   -- will continue to be in my various prayers as time goes by!       

                                                                                                                                Psalm 29:11

Straight from the horse's mouth.

In other words, the Logos Interlinear Translation Editor will be -- for the foreseeable future (which is never foreseeable) -- an in-house tool that will not be sold to the public, period, for reasons that are obvious.

Cute!  But doesn't it contradict what Bob Pritchett wrote above? :

If this is not true, well, please say so, and we will continue to look elsewhere for such a tool.

Unix, excuse me, but what in the world are you talking about?

Sounds good. We will wait for this product with bated breath. Thanks.

Wow. Anyone remember 'Logos4'?  Warm autumn days in Vermont making molassas.

It's interesting that when Bob asked for Logos7 ideas, no one cried out for interlinear support.  I would have, but I forgot.

I'd think Logos7 with inter-language support for users would qualify for a 7.0 (compare to 6.0).  I also think Logos should think beyond 'interlinear'.  There's mucho things you can do with those word-connected text blocks.  Powerful.

I appreciate the above poster resurrecting this thread.

I agree Denise. (From a somewhat different standpoint, however). I have been tutoring new students who have been confused by the Reverse Interlinear Formulations.in that they have become moderately dependent on reading the Bible as if it were written in an English grammatical manner. Expecting a 1:1,or word for word direct translation.

I travel with a hefty Interlinear to show them that the English to Hebrew, or English to Greek translation is not 1:1. The Syntacticals, Propositionals have helped, but plain ability to struggle through an original language BHS, with the correct Nominals, Direct and Indirect Objects, participial phrases, and pronominal application has highlighted that the grasp of English is sometimes needed prior to understanding that a Reverse Interlinear is a tool, not a translation. Would be a load off of my tatty brief case. I use the daylights out of Shibboleth.

Blessings.

Ah yes!...I can see it in my mind's eye: The Bible translator imports a ParaTExt project into his Logos translation environment, collaborates with SIL's FLeX and quickly creates an Interlinear and a RI Bible in the target language with super-extensive footnotes/translation-notes (NET style).  The translator team could even make a multi-layered study Bible (think: FSB) in the target language. These Bibles and Study helps would all be in the Logos format and the translator could "donate" them to Faithlife in exchange for a super-affordable Mother-tongue X package that could be offered to believers/converts. Yes, I'm imagining a situation that would be win, win, win! Let's DO IT Faithlife! For the cause of the Kingdom!!!!! Ever onward!

This is what I would call an AWESOME tool. However, we would still need the bridge from Paratext to Logos. Right now the Paratext markup means nothing to Logos and one had to do all the Logos Bible tagging manually. That is a lot of work!

It would be cool if this interlinear tool would have tagging functionality. And it would be great to make a community project for the classics (Perseus, Loeb, etc). In that way the existing tagging could be improved and be more useful.

Since tagging is very important for NOET, I am not sure why not making it top priority.
