The idea of bilingual or parallel texts gets frequent mention here, and it got frequent mention on HTLAL. Out of curiosity, I did a bit of a search on HTLAL and came up with a thread on the topic of member MarcoDiangelo's production of several bilingual texts. Those texts have ended up on a site
hosted by HTLAL member Cetacea.
There are rar files for German, Italian, Spanish, Russian and Polish bilingual texts, and zip files for French and Japanese bilingual texts. So as not to strain Cetacea's bandwidth, I downloaded only the french.zip file. It contains some three dozen texts in various formats, perhaps rtf files prevailing. I looked at only one of them. All the files for all the languages presumably have English as one of the languages.
NB: I cannot, do not and will not guarantee that the files are "safe."
