Text replacement - "<cmd>" to "{{cmd|"
</texcode>
So you put the part of your document where synchronization should take place between <{{cmd>|StartCouple</cmd> and <{{cmd>|StopCouple</cmd>. After that , <{{cmd>|Original</cmd> and <{{cmd>|Translation</cmd> switches between even and odd pages.
Beware, streams don’t work in columns and not very good in columnsets.
Columnsets have a limitation, however: they are very strongly grid-based, and you can't change the interlinespace within the columnset (e.g., if some paragraphs are typed in a smaller font). You can change the interlinespace if the entire text with a smaller interlinespace fits in one column, like a float or a section title (putting it between <code>\startlinecorrection\stoplinecorrection</code>), but if the text with a smaller interlinespace starts in one column and has to continue in the following one, nothing will work, and the layout will be completely messed.
Changing the font weight or shape inbetween <{{cmd>|startcolumnset</cmd> and <{{cmd>|stopcolumnset</cmd> may cause some columns to be shifted vertically. Then you must use <{{cmd>|restoreinterlinespace</cmd> after the font switch (<{{cmd>|bf</cmd>, <{{cmd>|ss</cmd>) to correct the interline spacing. See [http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/20932].
So, if you want columns and one-column floats and don’t have to change the interlinespacing, use Columnsets. If not, you can use Columns with some tricks.
