Is there a search method to find and list all of the non-english language words used in an otherwise english language novel?
The author uses latin, greek, and gaelic words and phrases, in addition to english.
Thanks for any assistance!
See TIP of the day: Search foreign languages - French, German, Spanish ... which works for any language that is tagged by language.
If you are a Logos Now or Logos Cloud subscriber, you can also use the Concordance tool to show a list of all the words in the book that are marked as any particular language.
MJ. Smith, Thank you for the TIP referral. I spotted something of interest in the topic string that briefly got my hopes up: italicized search. However, it was disclosed that searches for italicized words are not supported.
I have not experienced any problems finding search results for specific foreign language words. BTW all of the foreign language words appear to be transliterated.
I am trying to search the novel for all of the words in Latin; then Greek: then Gaelic. These searches only turned up the words "Latin", "Greek", and "Gaelic." I am obviously still on a steep learning curve for Searches. Basically, I am hoping for a search of the entire book for words that would not appear in the Collins English Dictionary.
Ultimately, I'll find them all as I go through the book from beginning to end[:)]

Andrew,
Awesome! The Concordance tool worked for the supported languages.
Thank you!
Here's a screen shot of Andrew's suggestion.
ah I see you tried it while I was posting.
