With this capability, you can automatically translate the text of your books into more than a hundred languages, opening up a whole new world of resources.
Note
Note: While this tool supports translation to/from over 100 modern languages plus Hebrew and Latin, it doesn’t support translation from modern Greek or from other ancient languages such as Greek, Aramaic, Coptic, and Syriac. (But you can translate any language to modern Greek.)
Desktop/Web
To translate a book, first open the book you want to translate and select the Tools tab (you may need to click More to find this). Then, click Translate .
Next, select a language from the dropdown to instantly translate the book into that language.
The translation sidebar automatically links to your book, so it continues to translate as you scroll. You can copy the entire contents of the translation sidebar by clicking the Copy icon or close the translation sidebar by clicking the
.
If you only want to translate a selection of text rather than the whole resource, click and drag across the text you want to translate to access the Selection Menu. Click the Translate icon to translate the selected text. You can then select a language from the language dropdown. Then, the translation sidebar will display a prose translation of the selected text in the target language.
You can also translate selected text from the Context Menu. Simply click and drag to select the text, right-click your selection, choose Selection or Reference (Bibles only), and then Translate.
Mobile
The translation feature is only available online and is subject to a monthly usage limit. You can view how much of your monthly limit is remaining by looking at the top of the More tab (it draws from the same allocation of credits as AI-enabled services).

Note: Requires a Logos Max subscription or a legacy Bronze package.
Select any word or phrase to open the Insights panel. Tap the Translate icon in the tools ribbon to open a translation panel and the resulting translation shows in your device’s default language.
You can tap the Copy icon to copy the translated text to your clipboard.
If you tap the current translation language in the Translation panel, you will see a menu enabling you to select from a range of destination languages. Search or scroll to find your desired target language. Tap it, and then tap the blue checkmark to save.
Similarly, if you select the gear icon to access translation settings, you will be able to change your default target translation language.
You can also access the translation settings from the More tab.
Note
Note: Only published books, not personal books or documents, can be translated. Translation requests are routed through Logos servers, so no personal data - not even your IP address - is sent to the translation providers. Logos always logs the translation request size to ensure users don’t exceed their AI-credit usage limits. Depending on your feedback settings, we may also record which part of which book was translated into which language. This data is used to help us to improve the service for all users.
