I am looking for a way to typeset bilingual text as parallel text, keeping each paragraph opposite the corresponding paragraph (left/ right page).

The ledpar package from the ledmac bundle does this (I was told).

How can this be done with ConTeXt? maybe streams?

Maybe streams. Right! Idris started a thread on parallel texts called "Streams" in March, 7th. But this thread never received any answer ... o( Steffen

True, but there is a m-streams module in the distribution. Hans was experimenting with these once upon a time and you can check them out. I think luigi was referring to that.

It's not mine! search for thomas.schmitz at uni-bonn.de %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \usemodule[streams] \def\StartCouple{\page\SwitchToNormal} \def\StopCouple {\SwitchToNormal \SynchronizeLeftAndRight \FlushLeftAndRight} \def\Original {\SwitchToNormal\SynchronizeLeftAndRight\SwitchToLeft} \def\Translation{\SwitchToRight} %%So you put the part of your document where synchronization should %%take place between \StartCouple and \StopCouple. After that , %%\Original and \Translation switches between even and odd pages. \starttext \scale[width=\textwidth,height=\textheight,factor=fit]{\ss m-streams} \page \StartCouple \Original this is an original text \crlf \input knuth \blank[1cm] \Translation THIS IS THE TRANSLATION \crlf \input tufte \Original \ss this is an original text \crlf \input knuth \Translation \tt THIS IS THE TRANSLATION \crlf \input tufte \StopCouple \stoptext

Best wishes Idris
