Hi,

Hope everyone is doing great!

I would like to bring to your attention the issue that I am currently facing, i.e. the alignment of multiple translation memories with multiple languages.
I have 2 TMs with the same source language and two different target languages; however, I need to create a TM directly between these target languages.

Here are the facts:
1. For a long time, I've had a source language (language "A"), which has been translated into the languages B and C.
2. As such, I have the following translation memories:
- A to B,
- A to C.
3. Now, the source language was switched from the language A into the language B.
4. As such, I need to create the following translation memories:
- B to A.
- B to C.

How could I do it?

Of course – let's assume that the translations are 100% correct and the content will not be lost/distorted if I switch the source language from A to B.

-----------------------
Removing the placeholders and illustrating it on an example: I have both Italian-to-English and Italian-to-Polish translation memories (which contain the same content), but now I need to create a direct English-to-Polish translation memory.

How could I do it?

Any hints, any pieces of advice, any solutions will be of a great value for me. Thank you in advance!

Best regards,
Dawid.
