Layouts & English
Paragraph, side by side, or interlinear — with the English where you want it
Every text reads three ways. Paragraph puts the English under each se’if. Side by side sets Hebrew and English in two true columns, aligned se’if for se’if with the same number on both. Interlinear puts the English under each word. Hebrew, English and vowels each have their own switch, and the font grows and shrinks — all remembered from sefer to sefer.
Paragraph
וְאָהַבְתָּ בְּבֵיתֶךָ וְדִבַּרְתָּ
and you shall love, in your house, and you shall speak

What it does
The English says what it is
The Kitzur’s English is the Metsudah translation, complete for every siman. The Mishnah Berurah’s is Sefaria’s community translation, complete for 37 simanim — and the reader says so, and shows English only where it covers the whole siman, so the wrong English is never under the wrong Hebrew.
Numbers that match across the columns
A se’if printed ז in the Hebrew is 7 in the English column, not 1 — so a learner reading across the two always knows they are on the same se’if.
One set of preferences
Layout, font size, interlinear, Shoresh, Dikduk — set once, kept everywhere. A child who reads the Chumash side by side opens the Kitzur side by side.
Who it's for — For the learner who reads the Hebrew and checks the English, the one who reads the English and follows the Hebrew, and the Rebbi projecting a page for a class. Layouts are part of every reader; the texts themselves follow the plan.
