When I try the verses layout of the Text Comparison tool, it works.

But when I try the (much more) preferred interlinear layout, I get an error, not matter what passage, no matter what resources to compare.

I can reproduce this with Logos 7.10 beta 1 on Windows 10

What version of Logos on which platform are you using?

Interlinear mode is only available in the New Testament. Does it work correctly with a New Testament reference?

Sorry - I forgot when responding earlier that this currently only works in the New Testament

From the Logos helpfile

Interlinear View [L7] [Net]

Click on the Verses button to switch to Interlinear mode (New Testament only) which will compare different translations line by line


Logos Help (Bellingham, WA, 2009).

That seems to be true, it's working in the NT, not in the OT.

Any idea when this feature is planned to be available for the OT? I kind of really like it.

A few more issues come up with the Interlinear Text Comparison Tool. Any input on it is welcome: 

  1. I do know now that the tool is not yet available for the OT. Any idea when it is scheduled to be available?
  2. I'm trying to compare some Greek texts of the NT, but it doesn't work (see picture below). Will this be possible in the future?
  3. the tool seems to be only working when connected to the Internet? Is that true? Will the tool be available offline in the future?

  1. I have not heard any news about when the OT data will be available.
  2. The point of the tool is to show translation differences, and as such, it only works with translated texts that have access to a reverse interlinear. To compare original language texts, you will need to use the Verses mode.
  3. You are correct. The interlinear data is only available online. There are currently no plans to make this data available offline.

Thanks!

An offline version of the Text Comparison tool would be very much appreciated though, especially by SIL folks who more and more are using Logos and often are working remotely with bad Internet connections.
