Description

Just curious if there's interest in adding an option to disable bilingual output. I think it's very useful for novels, but there could be cases where this would still be a powerful script for simple translating without returning the original text as well.

Research direction
Examine the main script (likely `make book.py` or `bilingual book maker.py`) to understand how bilingual output is currently generated. Look for where the original text and translation are combined. The feature would involve adding a CLI flag (e.g., ` disable bilingual`) and modifying the output logic to conditionally omit the original text. Check existing command line arguments for consistency. The maintainer may need to confirm interest and provide guidance on integration.
