How to create a bilingual book

Imagine you would like to create a book which contains English text on all left pages and the same text in e.g. German on the corresponding right pages.

In iCalamus, this is possible without much effort. You just have to understand what to do.

  1. First of all, create a document sample in the desired format, e.g. 2 pages in DIN A5, with the desired guides to help placing text frames. Be sure to use the double page mode, with the first page not being the right page.

  2. Now create a text frame on the left page. Assign a good name to the existing layer, e.g. English.
      
  3. Create another layer (German), and create a text frame on the right page, but in the German layer!
      
  4. Now set the automatic piping from and to pages for the left frame. Be sure to have set all check marks correctly.

  5. Now, similarly set the automatic piping from and to pages for the right frame. The piping will recognize the different layers and only pipe from left pages to left pages, and also only from right to right pages.
  6. When you've finished setting up the document sample, multiply the pair of pages using the Pages inspector. My example screen shot adds 128 pages (giving a total of 130 pages for a booklet).
    Důležité: Don't forget to set the Use layout checkbox. This option does the trick and copies the automatic piping information to the desired frames in all new pages.

  7. You can now easily switch layers and handle the piped text frames individually.
