Bug Description

This is a wishlist item for bi- or multilingual song projection.
Currently the only option offering such feature is EasySlides (http://www.easyslides.com/index.php/features), but that is a Windows only application.

Multiple features are required for this to work properly:
* Linking translations of the same song
* Presenting multiple translations of the same song at the same time/one after the other (key shortcut to switch to next/previous language of the same slide)
  * it's possible to do this for Bibles, e.g. multiple translations of Bible verses shown (one verse per line, one verse per slide)
  * for songs it could be either bilingual (both translations shown on the same slide, e.g. with alternating verses) or alternating slides (the verse view would contain the verses of all languages available, letting the presenter to select)

Opening the bug to see that there is a need for this, I will look into the code and see if I can figure out anything on how to do this.

There is also another program which could use for multilingual song projection: www.songbeamer.de
But it's for Windows only and not an open project. So the author might not give us a look in his code...
Maybe it is good to see how it could work.

I would really enjoy this feature too.

If I could also add in the whishlist something about the display, might be good to have the screen split horizontally with on each part a language version
