Is it possible to perform a pretranslate sequence for selected docuuments?

Scenario:
I have many documents that a very similar for which pretranslations exist, is it possible to perform the pretranslate sequence: Preparation -> Clear Translations, Preparation -> Pre-translate on all selected documents?

Tasks -> Pre-translate does not suffice (because 100% translations are not confirmed)

I frequently use the following "workaround" for cases like the one described:

D) Under "Clear what", tick "All translations"
E) Press OK
F) Close the document and go back to Project Home - all documents are now cleared

G) Select all documents in the project
H) Right-click and then choose Tasks > Pre-Translate
Under "Scope and Lookup" in the Pre-Translate dialog, I use "Exact match" and "Only unambiguous matches" to get as many DEPENDABLE hits as possible:

The scenario you mention should really have a readily available menu option from the Project Home menu as well. Perhaps the latest version does – I don't know.
I am still using the 2015 version.
I hope this reply is of at least some help.

Kind regards,

Thanks Magnus

I am also using memoQ 2015, largely because my main customer also uses this version.
