This is part of the specs, even if we have not yet got to it.
Not only the online editor of Pootle will be able to display a second
language to assist the translator, but it will also allow exporting
files for offline translation that includes a third language. This is
difficult to do with PO files, but it will not be a problem for XLIFF
files. The XLIFF format permits including as part of a translation unit
the source string, the target string, comments and what is called
alternative-translations, which can be either translation memory
information, previous translations of the same string or the translation
to a third language.
The offline XLIFF editor that we (WordForge) are working on will be able
to recognise that this third language is present and will allow the
translator to display it whenever he requires it.

Could Pootle show an already existing translation like Spanish (even
one or both laguages in the front end page), to help that peaple to
find a knew language to work on in the translation?

So far I've never had a problem with this. The most important project
I've seen that has the original language in Portuguese is Gnuteca (a
library management system).
