How to store translated document and the original document together?

Question

I would like to store already translated documents in SDL studio 2021 and at the same time I would like to store the original documents for the next time I need to translate the similar document, and like this, it is very easy to translate similar documents in the future. But how can we store these translated documents and the original documents? I would like to do all the translated documents and the original documents before I used SDL tool. 
 Could you please advise me how? 
 Thank you in advance and have a nice day.

Hi Yoshiko Nosho , 
 Let's say you translate from English (US) to French (France). Whenever you create a project, Trados Studio will create 2 folders: 
 - en-US 
 - fr-FR 
 In these 2 folders you have the original and SDLXLIFF files of the source and target languages. 
 I'm not sure if this is what you needed&hellip;

Hi Yoshiko, 
 If I'm understanding your question correctly, you want to store the contents of original and translated documents (prior to using Studio) in the same place. This is done via a process called Alignment: https://www.trados.com/video/alignment/133733/ . Once all the source and target text has been aligned, it is stored in a translation memory. In the future, when you get documents with similar contents to translate, you use this translation memory to help with the translation process.
