How can I display 2 different languages on JW Library simultaneously?

[Tim Gray]

How can I display 2 different languages on JW Library (Android) simultaneously? I'm looking to include all of the meeting content, not just the scriptures.

I'm working on learning my 2nd language and this would be a huge help!

 

Thanks in advance, Tim Gray

One on your phone, and one on your tablet? 

 

I'm not sure it supports it on the same device

Depending on the device you have you can run 2 instances of the same app, namelly JW Library. Then you open the apps in a double window and there you have it simultaneously in 2 languages

It seams that ipad OS can do it 

Huawei and samsung has also some phones that support it

 

If your device doesn't support it natively use the app parallel space as described here

In Windows 10, you open a new window through your browser.  We use a 2nd window of JW Library to play the Bible verses audio during our Midweek meeting.

It only works on the new iPadOS. You need a tablet, iPad, not very old that can be updated to iPadOS

 Have you actually accomplished this with the JW Library app?

I don't have an ipad but I'll try on a friends tablet and will let you know tomorrow

I’m finding that the specific app also needs to be built to run 2 instances natively.. JW Library isn’t one of them. 

 

( Running an iPad Pro with latest iOS  )

Here you have it working in android (notice you can have also 2 different configurations of everything including the font size)

How handy!

 

Hopefully at some point this feature will be rolled out to ios

You can easily switch languages using the language drop down menu. It will open at the paragraph you’re looking at. Other than that, the Bibles, for example, can open up in the study pane in all languages and versions of your choice.

but  that can hardly be called simultaneously 😉

[jayrtom]

besides, with this feature, you can have other applications like for example having the bible opened in one app and a publication in the other, even if at the same language...  or having different pubs etc...

No, but it’s very close, and sometimes better than running two instances of the app.

You can open one language in jw.org and the other in the app,then split the screen. It’s more difficult to study in the one, but you can have it for reference
