/lit/ - Literature

I'm translating a short non-fiction work (10k words) and I would like to place the translated text beside the original so that the reader can compare the two.
Would it be better to place the translation on the left or on the right?
Pic related was my initial thought because english is read left to right, and it makes the most sense for convenience and comfort. However, I've read works in the opposite format, and the difference wasn't really noticeable.
