I'm trying to make a text editor in Java for translators that put the original text side by side with the translation, something to the effect of EU journal multilingual display, where the same paragraph in different languages visually begins on a level horizontal line.

There might be a scroll bar to move all panes to the same position, or I may just sync the scroll position of all the panels.
How can I achieve the above objectives?
Here is what I currently have:
