Copy existing termbase and switch language direction possible?

Question

I have an existing Termbase called [clientname FR -DE] as the direction of translation was from French to German at the time. I now wish to translate a document DE to FR and was wondering whether I can use the same termbase or duplicate the existing termbase but switch around the language directions so as to avoid having to create a new one from scratch? thanks for your help!

A termbase is by definition multilingual and does not have any given direction, meaning that you can use a termbase for all languages it contains and in any possible direction between these languages. 
 
When you assign the termbase to your project in Studio, Studio displays a prompt saying that it has adjusted the languages. What this means is that Studio automatically makes the two languages of the language pair of your Studio project appear on top of a termbase entry. This is automatic. You don't need to do anything manually.
