Is there a musical term for a performance with 2 singers (duet), but the 1st singer sings in 1 language, then a 2nd singer repeats the same verse in another language? Like a "verse-by-verse translation" but seamlessly integrated into the same song? Here's an example: http://youtu.be/znBsTAZN1Iw?t=26m15s

No, there's no name for it that I've ever heard.
