Re: [libreoffice-users] Two parallel text flows in one document possible?

This requires knowing how to use styles. For the column in German, all 
of the styles you use (paragraph, heading, or character styles need to 
be modified to list German as the language. For the column in English, 
all of the styles you use (paragraph, heading, or character styles need 
to be modified to list English as the language.This results in two sets 
of styles, one for German and one for English. For detailed instructions 
on doing this, you need to download the latest Writer Guide or download 
the the chapter on styles and the chapters on styles from the Getting 
Started Guide. Or, you could just download the entire Writer Guide so 
you would have a good reference for other questions about Writer.
