Pretranslate

Question

Hi, 
 I have a source file in English and its translation in Spanish, except that the source files has some new phrase added. Is it possible to pretranslate the file and just translate the new addition with SDL TRADOS 2017? 
 Thank you, Regards 
 Silvia

Hi Silvia Gentili , 
 
Yes. Align the files to create a TM out of the content that has been translated, then open the source file and pretranslate from the TM you just created. What's left will be the new content.

Hi Silvia Gentili , 
 
Yes... the alignment tool can be a little tricky. Perhaps review this article and it may give you some tips on how to work best with it:

You could skip to the video at the end which seems to have had it's fair share of views with many users finding similar issues to you.
