Hi!I wonder if there is a viable way to manage multilingual (translated) texts in a multi-column layout with Lyx (or plain Latex). There might be a technical term for this, which I don't know however, so let me give an example:
I have got an edition of Beckets "Waiting for Godot" in English, French and German. Every right side contains the german text, while on the left there are two columns containing the english and french version, respectively, in a smaller font. Wherever one text hits the bottom of a page, the other two do a pagebreak as well.
So there are three concepts at work here:1. Two or more texts (translations of one text) which correspond to each other in structure (paragraphs, phrases), so that the corresponding parts can be aligned automatically. The corresponding parts need to be marked by the user.
2. Fitting this in a multi-column layout. 3. Fitting this in a multi-page layout.The third I do not need, but how do I achieve the first two? I am trying to use long tables now, which is a mess.
(English is not my first language, please excuse any mistakes.)
