The table *is* the workaround ;P As long as you don’t mind being
limited to columns on one page, the tabulate syntax and the
restrictions on the input order, you’ll definitely be fine.
The additional code was supposed to show how to handle an issue
that is very likely to manifest itself with what you are doing:
translations of this kind are usually accompanied by some special
pagination. Using plain counters for that can have undesirable
side-effects.
Regards
Philipp
