I would like to create a document consisting of two texts (one the translation of the other) in which one text appears on the left-hand page while the other appears on the right-hand page.
This seems like the sort of problem that somebody might have written a .sty file to solve, but I haven't had much luck with Google. I'm trying to gauge how feasible it might be to create a new documentclass option which would function a bit like the singleside option in order to interleave pages from each of the two texts.
Alternatively, if fiddling with the documentclass options is too difficult, it might be possible to make a very large page and then make a two-column table.
Does anyone have any suggestions or comments?

Oh brilliant! The parallel package did the trick. Thanks!
