Post title: Translating a side-by-side source-target table
What you describe is a fairly common scenario. What I do is copy all the source text to the target column, then hide all the original source text and any other headers, etc., that should not be translated. Then proceed as normal in the CAT tool. The CAT tool will not see the hidden text and will not touch it. When finished you just unhide all the text previously hidden, leaving you with the untouched source text and the translated target text.
