So I'd lean towards solutions that make that intensive work easier and more consistent, not try to reach for ones that rely on auto processes that will surely fall short no matter how they are optimized to the task.
This is the core reason that I've spent the last twenty years in InDesign, instead of LaTeX.
@Exertive , laying out your text in a table as Robert suggests will take a whole lot of annoying manual work, but at least you'll be guaranteed that your translations will stay aligned with one another. Probably 100% worth the effort. On the other hand, four parallel threaded frames with lots of page breaks will also keep your texts aligned, at the costs of a multi-pass workflow where you will have to look at every subsequent page every time you make any substantial edits. Also probably worth the effort.
But, if what you really need is to spend a long time learning yet another page layout app, and you really want this whole four-parallel-texts thing to just Lay Itself Out once you've really perfected the setup, well, then, look into LaTeX. It's free, industrial-strength typesetting software wherein you write code that forces the layout. Where InDesign offers a "what you see is what you get" interface, LaTeX is more of a "what you write is what you want" tool. Not quite worth the effort, for my own selfish, commercial purposes. You might find otherwise for your own purposes.
