Email from Simon as below:

Most of todays popular worship songs from hillsong, jesus culture, 
planetshakers, chris tomlin etc.
are translated into different languages and are played in many countries around 
the world.
In the german speaking part of europe we have most of these songs translated 
into 
german, but we also sing them in the original english version.
So it would be great to have a opportunity to display the english and the 
german lyric
at the same time, optically separated by using a different and smaller font...

Here for example one verse of Jesus Culture´s Rooftop in a dual-language lyric 
projection:
----------------------------------------------------
Verse 1:
I want to scream it out
Die ganze Welt soll hörn
From every mountain top
wie gut du zu uns bist.
Your goodness knows no bounds
Der Himmel und das Meer
Your goodness never stops
rufen dir Jubelnd zu
Your mercy follows me
In meiner tiefsten Nacht
Your kindness fills my life
strahlst du als helles Licht
Your Love amazes me
ich kann nur staunen, Herr.

Chorus:
I sing because You are good
Ich singe, denn du bist gut
And I dance because You are good
und ich tanze denn du bist gut 
And I shout because You are good
und ich rufe laut, denn du bist gut,
You are good to me to me
du bist gut zu mir!
----------------------------------

A song can contain more than one translation (i know some songs which we played 
in norwegian, swedish, german, english and french)
but it makes no sense displaying all of them at the same time.
So it would be great to have a selection on which translation is the Main lyric 
(big font) and which one should be displayed as the minor lyric (smaller font)

This isn't a trivial thing to implement, though would be a good feature to have 
- I'll look into it after 0.6 is released to see how feasible it would be.

This has now been partly implement - the UI and database modifications for text 
entry have been completed. That's one big part out the way, the second is the 
modifications for displaying the translation (and corresponding UI options.)

UI has now been done in trunk, meaning this is now feature complete and ready 
to go for the next version.
