Dumas, Alexandre: The Three Musketeers (French/English). v1. 04 May 2012
This is a bilingual French-English version of one of Alexandre Dumas’ best known books with interlinked French and English sentences. I.e., if you cannot figure out a particular French sentence, you can click on the hyperlink at the beginning of the sentence to jump to the corresponding English translation.

Thank you very much! This is not a bad concept at all. As long as e-readers do not support opening two books side-by-side, this is probably the next best solution.
How did you create this? Did you use some sort of tool to get all those hyperlinks in? |

I used a very simple VB script that generated the ePub source files from a tab delimited text file with sentence pairs. |

Thanks. But then how did you create the file with sentence pairs?

There are also a couple of commercial aligners for example, Abbyy Aligner. |

Thanks again. I was afraid that it would be time-consuming. I'd like to have some of the great Russian 19th-century novels in this format. So now it's up to me to find the time and courage to undertake this project...
