2. If you chose bilingual, you can now choose to have the two languages stacked or side-by-side by clicking on "Sheet Layout" under "Format".
How do I change the language of an individual source?
1. Select the source on which you would like to change the language, by clicking on it. Notice the blue bar on the left side indicating that it has been selected.

How do I edit a text which I have added to my sheet from the library?
After you have added a text, you can edit using a full toolbar of options.
