make bilingual or trilingual LaTeX document

Question

How do I make a bilingual (two-column) or trilingual (three-column) LaTeX document?

E.g.:

| Original language | Translation 1 | Translation 2 |
|                   |               |               |
|                   |               |               |

Also, paragraphs from each language must align vertically properly, too.

thanks

Do you mean one language in one column to show translated text beneath the original text? Perhaps a good idea to explain a little bit more what you have and what you want? — Mensch, Oct 10 '13 at 16:27
Perhaps the best way is to use a tabular environment with three columns. Regarding the language, just load all of them with babel. — Mario S. E., Oct 10 '13 at 16:43
Perhaps you want to take a look at packages like »paracol«, »parallel« or »parcolumns« and other possible packages for parallel typesetting. — Thorsten Donig, Oct 10 '13 at 17:04

You may want to take a look at the paracol package. Once loaded, you can execute commands such as

 \begin{paracol}{3} % specify three columns...
 <text in first column>
 \switchcolumn
 <text in next column>
 \switchcolumn
 <text in next column>
 \switchcolumn 
 <text in next, i.e., first column>
 ...
 \end{paracol}
