By far the easiest way to approach this is to create two separate documents,
one for the text and one for the translation, and interleave them.

I need to have continuous footnote numbering starting from 1 for a text
appearing only on left-hand pages, and a separate sequence of continuous
footnote numbering starting from 1 for the translation of the text on the
facing pages. I am using Word 2002.
