bilingual_pdf, an app by @rudifa

If you are learning another (human) language, you might wish to create bilingual documents where a text in a language you know and its translation into the language you are learning are displayed in two columns, side by side.

bilingual_pdf is a CLI application for Mac, Linux and Windows that will create a two-column bilingual PDF document, from your input Markdown document.

As an example, here is the bilingual_pdf project's README.md used as a source to bilingual_pdf, and the resulting English + Spanish version README.en.es.pdf.

By default, bilingual_pdf translates your input automatically using Google Translate. You can also get the resulting translation as a Markdown document, which you can edit and use instead of the automatic translation.

Enjoy!
