Biblical Term for both the actual text and its back translation

Question

Is there a way to see and edit a Biblical Term for both the actual text and its back translation? I would find that very helpful, preferably if it was in the same window! It doesn't seem possible, but is there a good workaround?

Thanks!

Answer 1

When you open the BT tool you can set comparative texts for the glossary portion at the bottom of the window. I would suggest that you add the backtranslation as a comparative text. Additionally, when you are adding glosses to the vernacular renderings, you can add a backtranslation in parenthesis.

Thanks Phil. That helps!

Now it would be great if I could switch between editing the Biblical Term of the actual text and the back translation with a single click!

I think I'm going to make that suggestion. (I'm currently using Paratext 9.5.109.1)
