There too it seems:

Could anyone help me understand how they did it? Could we format some books that way, for example to make some bilingual editions of Shakespeare, and read them in CoolReader?
Is it just a hack to add the Microsoft Chinese Yahei font:

That is what I gather from the Savethefile link in one of the discussions. And from the google translation page, I understood that they indeed added that Chinese font and hacked the fb2 reader to get that nice result.
I have to try the fb2 format to see if I can get english texts to print over two columns.
