TeX - LaTeX Asked on July 31, 2020
How might one set a Greek text on even pages with English translation on odd? I suppose one could break the pages manually unless there is an easy better way.
I came to this question because I wanted to know how to write a bilingual Text divided in odd and even (or left/right) pages.
I checked the package parallel
and the links in the comments.
There were some examples but none of them were simple and complete to present a two page bilingual document.
As I will update a whole book into the bilingual-two-pages format, I present below the MWE I made to understand the concept and how parallel
behaves.
I know this question is old, but it still was without a direct answer to it. This might help in the future.

usepackage[german, brazil]{babel}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage{lipsum}

CAPE -- MWE package parallel with bilingual
clearpage
Before.
Pay attention to odd-even to start the text.
The next page is blank because the first textbf{parallel} is textbf{left}.
begin{Parallel}[p]{}{}
ParallelLText{ %
selectlanguage{german}
Dieser Text ist auf Deutsch.
left-text 1
lipsum[1-3]
}
ParallelRText{ %
selectlanguage{brazil}
Este texto está em alemão.
right-text 1
lipsum[1-3]
}
ParallelPar
ParallelLText{ %
left-text 2.1
lipsum[1-3]
left-text 2.2
vfill
}
ParallelRText{ %
right-text 2.1
lipsum[1-3]
right-text 2.2
vfill
}
ParallelPar
end{Parallel}
After
Text between.
lipsum[1-6]
Text between.
begin{Parallel}[p]{}{} %{linewidth}{linewidth}
ParallelLText{ %
left-text 3.1
lipsum[1-5]
left-text 3.2
vfill
}
ParallelRText{ %
right-text 3.1
lipsum[1-5]
right-text 3.2
vfill
}
ParallelPar
ParallelLText{left-text 4}
ParallelRText{right-text 4}
ParallelPar
renewcommand{ParallelAtEnd}{text at end}
end{Parallel}
end{document}
