It is most helpful to do this while viewing the texts side by side in the Parallel Passage Tool.

I recently got a new laptop with Windows 11. Producing the PDF (via XeLaTeX) always took a long time, even on a small document. Remember that we note that XeLaTeX takes longer to run the first time you run it on a new computer and whenever you add or remove fonts on your system. In this case, however, XeLaTeX always took a long time.
It turns out that I needed to invoke the XMLmind XML Editor using the “Run as administrator” option. Once I did that, XeLaTeX was able to update its information... read more

Sometimes projects only want to translate part of a book or translate chapters out of order. Teams have good reasons for doing these things, but it requires extra effort to use a project plan in these cases. Beyond this, if a team wants to only translate part of a book, then the project plan will block the team from going on to the next book. The solution is to define translation priorities for your project plan.
To more easily understand this method, I will start with some... read more
