What you are looking for is text streams. They are not yet fully functional in mkiv. But as long as you need the streams to appear as columns on the same page, as seems to be the case, there is a cheap workaround using the*tabulate* environment (see below).

The great thing about \{start,stop}tabulate is that it allows for page breaks inside paragraphs of arbitrary length.

Thank you. Why not simply a table without any workaround? \starttabulate[|p|p|] \NC \language[deo] Hallo, Welt! \NC \language[en] \input knuth \NC\NR \NC \language[deo] Nächster Abschnitt! \NC \language[en] \input ward \NC\NR \stoptabulate Huseyin
