As a rule I prefer to have only one translation per one source segment. Still from time to time, when in one project there are several correct translations for one segment, it would be very useful to have two alternative translations or more.

I would really appreciate suggestions how to solve this problem.

Best Regards
Stanislaw

Your Trados or Studio version please? Feb 6, 2012

TBH I do not really understand your problem.
In Studio you just add as many translations for the source segment as necessary. This is done simply by the command Add as a new translation.
In T2007 you need to configure the TM to allow multiple translations and go then same way.
So what is the real problem there?

I should have been more specific Feb 6, 2012

Thank you Jerzy, I am using Studio 2009, I tried earlier this option "add as a new translation in the past" [ctr + sift + u] and it kept replacing one translation with the new one, maybe it was a temporary problem. I've used it now and it worked like a dream

Cheers
S
