**If you are publishing a cybertext, make the bilingual stuff interactive.** Any website or e-reader should be able to handle basic javascript that would allow the reader to click on the words and swap them for another text.

One example is [**Stone Harbor** by Liza Daly](https://stoneharborgame.com). It has words that are replaced when they are clicked.

Consider it a feature of the story. Clicking or not is voluntary. You could also create a preference system where they are set one way or the other by user choice.
