Is it possible to add the ability to display two different languages ​​for the Bible?

Not yet I’m afraid - but this is probably one of the next things to look at, as it’s been requested a few times now. I’ll see what we can do about that after the 2020.0 release.

Just noticed this after answering the same question here:

> I started working on a way to display two Bible translations at the same time some time ago. We have actually been using it for some time at my church and it seems to be working, so I’m sure we will merge the branch into a future release of Quelea. Can’t say when that will be though. If you would want to try to build it yourself, [this is the branch you’d want to build](https://github.com/quelea-projection/Quelea/tree/bible-passages-translations), otherwise you’ll just have to wait until we merge it with the main branch and it will be available in the CI release.

> Another post from a few days ago got me thinking about having multiple translations at the same time. As I was explaining the idea, I realized that I would benefit from something like this. Naturally it would be nice to have a feature … but we can do it quick and dirty like so. What is happening here is the merger of 2 bibles at verse level with something “\<–\>” for visual separation. I made a small script (with example; which works as a command line tool), which can be downloaded an…
