How to prepare files (already translated) to be retranslated or adapted?

Question

Hi to all, 
 I need to prepare two doc.files for (re)translation. I have a source file (.doc) in german and the corresponding translated file (also .doc) into pt-pt. The pt-pt version must be adapted to pt-br, that means I can use parts of the translated text. 
 Thank you in advance. 
 Kind regards 
 Patricia

Hi Patricia, 
 
align the source doc file (German) with the existing doc target file (PT-PT), using a GERMAN-PORTUGUESE (Brazil) memory. 
Then create a project with the german source file and the memory created with the alignment. 
Pre-translate the file, The translator can open the file in the editor and make the changes required for Brazilian Portuguese. 
 
Regards 
Stefano

Hello Patricia Neves 
 Do you only have the source and target files and no TM? 
 If so, you can create a new TM (Align Documents feature) and align the de-DE and pt-PT files. You will now have a DE to PT TM 
 Create a new project selecting the required (de-DE/pt-BR) languages and then add the TM (using AnyTM- under the project settings). 
 Your project settings will then look something like this

Your main aligned DE-PT TM (not ticked to update) and the additional DE-BR TM. 
 You should then be able to reuse the original translations - post editing as you go and saving the new translations to the second TM.
