What are those? Is this a book that has the same text in two languages side by side?
I'd be very interested to see an example of such a book because I recently translated the one of my math books from English[1] to French[2] and I was thinking of releasing a bilingual edition too.

- pfkurtz 5y agoThat is exactly what they are, a book with original on the left, English on the right. The publisher Dover makes a whole series across several languages, and it's not too hard to find Greek and Latin classics. Recently I see more specialty publishers moving into the space. There's also interlinear dual language books, with a very literal but you-do-some-grammatical work translation of each word below. For weird biographical reasons all of the philosopher Wittgenstein's books are published with German-English on facing pages. https://store.doverpublications.com/by-subject-languages-and-linguistics-dual-language--dictionaries--other.html https://store.doverpublications.com/by-subject-languages-and...
