Is it possible for the Greek Septuagint word to result in the Info tab when clicking on an OT word?

Is there a way for the Greek Septuagint word to appear under "word info" in the Info tab when I click on it in the OT? I appreciate how it can appear under translations, but I'd like similar info as what appears under word info, and one click access to the Greek BWS. Is this possible?

Thanks!

    Hi Joshua - and welcome to the forums

    What OT are you reading? If a Greek Septuagint text, then it works as you are requesting.

    Yeah, I've found the work-around where I open the Septuagint in "multiple books display" next to the English translation I'm reading. I just look over and click the corresponding Greek word if I want to know more. I was just wondering if there was a "one stop shop" in the Info tab by clicking on the word in the English, non-Septuagint translation.

    Thank you!

    You can also use an English translation that is based on the Septuagint. Logos offers two editions of its own "Lexham English Septuagint".

    If you use multiple book display and include the following you should be able to get tagging to work in the LXX:

    1. English Tagged Bible - I use the ESV

    2. Lexham Hebrew Bible

    3. Lexham English Septuagint

    4. Logos LXX

    Clicking on the English text will highlight the hebrew in the LHB and the Greek in the Logos LXX. Then clicking on the Greek in the Logos LXX will highlight the Lexham English Septuagint. See screenshot below. 

    The key is to have the Lexham Hebrew Bible with the Logos LXX to tie everything together.

    Thanks John!! This is pure Gold for my level of Biblical Language understanding!!

    John (or others), any ideas why corresponding words is not highlighting in my LES? (I'm using LES2)

    Thanks John. That's helpful!

    I, too, notice that corresponding words in LES don't highlight.

    Edit:

    Nevermind. All corresponding words highlight if I click on the Greek LXX word, just not the English word in ESV. If I click the English word in LXX, it also only highlights the Greek word in LXX, not the corresponding word in LXX. Not sure if there's a way to highlight all corresponding words by clicking the English in the ESV (or preferred English translation of the OT)?

    You need to click on the Greek LXX to get the English LXX to highlight. You cannot get them all to highlight with one click. The ESV goes to the LHB which ties to the Greek LXX. Click on the Greek LXX to get the English LXX and you will have all 4 highlighted

    FWIW, I tried doing this same layout with the LEB as the source and the tagging was not as fluid as with ESV. [not to mention that OT audio is not available in LEB)
