Best regards, Seb What you describe is Two-Column mode, and this was suggested by Jambunathan before. I did try this alley, but for me org-mode works better. One of the reasons for this is, that there are some structural aspects that are common to both files. Another reason is that I want to be able grep through the files and be able to see matching lines in both languages -- this helps me ensure a consistent translation. So the current setup is really nice for me for doing the work, but now I need to construct the pipeline for publication. As Jambunathan put it, this is really a problem of tangling the output. BTW, I think the general exporter should also be able to to a org-mode to org-mode conversion. This would provide a general framework to systematically correct little problems in files. I guess here it shows that I am coming from the XML world, where a conversion from one XML file to another XML file with slight alterations of some aspects is a very common pattern.
