Generally, you enter retranslations when the syntax or exegesis of the adaptation is incorrect or misleading. You also need to retranslate if you need to group more than ten source words to make a phrase.
To retranslate the source text, do the following steps:
Select the source text to be retranslated.
Click the New button on the Tools menu.
