You have source text and translation and you are looking at a side-by-side (parallel) display but would prefer, for whatever reason, to have an interlinear-like display.
One alternative is to prompt a chatbot (AI service) to make the translation and display source and target the way you want.
Another is to take the text and translation and pop them into this tool for an inter-linear display.
alternative displays for translations--meaning-mapping, reference, text analysis, language learning...

New kid on the block
Try inter-linear.com.
Enter text or upload a file, select a translation service, submit this source for translation and display to copy or download. The display, in contrast to side-by-side or parallel texts, can be segmented by sentences, paragraphs, word/phrase, or characters per line.
Additionally there are tools for converting source and translation into inter-linear displays as well as segmenting text into sentences.
Expect output suitable for everyday languages enthusiasts, not for scholarly or biblical exegesis.
Provide feedback on your experience with inter-linear displays and the results you got or wanted, or just enjoy the possibilities.

DIY sentence-by-sentence translation
You have your source text and you have the target translation. However, they are separate, as one would see them side-by-side from, let's say, Google Translate. How do you get a sentence-by-sentence display for closer reading and understanding of your source and its translation?
You can use this tool right here, or from whence it comes, jkm.free.nf/inter-linea/sidebyside.html.
A kind of DIY quick fix kindly made available free.

Concept view, line-by-line alt-trans
This is a generic template to visualize or build an actual web (html) app. You can try it, but it won't produce a translation nor a display. A working version may be coming soon, here or elsewhere.

Quick and clean
Want to have an interlinear translation of text on a web page? Here is a sample page for this source.*
https://slowgerman.com/2024/10/29/kurt-eisner-bayerns-erster-ministerpraesident/
Here is the interlinear English translation of text on that page. Magic!
Sample from slowgerman.com. |
How you ask? Add the ImTranslator extension to your browser (e.g., Chrome or Firefox). Select the text on a source language page and invoke the extension for an interlinear view (right mouse click, for example). Couldn't be simpler.
