Just a side comment: isn't easier to work in 2 different files or buffers

follow-mode? I thought such a thing existed, but can't find it back right
now. Anyway, it would be quite easy to implement: it's more or less
implementing C-v/M-v so that it's done in two parallel buffers at the same
time, instead of just in one!? Best regards, Seb
What you describe is Two-Column mode, and this was suggested by Jambunathan
before. I did try this alley, but for me org-mode works better. One of the
reasons for this is, that there are some structural aspects that are common
to both files. Another reason is that I want to be able grep through the
files and be able to see matching lines in both languages -- this helps me
ensure a consistent translation. So the current setup is really nice for me
for doing the work, but now I need to construct the pipeline for
publication. As Jambunathan put it, this is really a problem of tangling
the output.
BTW, I think the general exporter should also be able to to a org-mode to
org-mode conversion. This would provide a general framework to
systematically correct little problems in files. I guess here it shows that
I am coming from the XML world, where a conversion from one XML file to
another XML file with slight alterations of some aspects is a very common
pattern.
All the best,
Christian
