With HoudahSpot it is very easy to search terms in folders that contain parallel PDF files for both the source and target language.
You can either change HoudahSpot's default settings (File > Save As Default) or create different templates for different language codes (File > Save As Template).

You can start HoudahSpot searches from third party tools like Butler, LaunchBar or Alfred.
I'll post the advanced Keyboard Maestro macro as soon as it is finished (currently I'm improving it).
Via the View > Details menu you can instruct HoudahSpot to directly display the PDF selected in the Results column:
