Yes! This is what I do (for solutions in homework assignments): \definebuffer[solution][local=yes,nested=yes] \startmode[solution] \defineenumeration[solution][....fancy setup...] \stopmode Then, in the main tex file: .... \startsolution ... \stopsolution .... By default, gives the version without solution. Compile with --mode=solution to get the version with solution. The same thing should work in your case by defining two modes: unabridged and translation. And then use --mode=unabridged,translate etc to get multiple modes. Aditya
