Does divorce papers generated in Colombia signed and with the stamps (Spanish) need to be translated to English for the 129F?

This is for a friend of mine. My friend is a USC, her mother had a LPR status, had 2 babies (one of them my friend) but, went back to her country for many years, she understood her status was probably treated as abandonment so, she applied for a tourist visa and, she got it. that is how she is traveling in to the country now to visit my friend and her grandson. Now she retired and wishes to be close to family. My friend asks if would it be possible to reassume her mother's previous status as LPR or should my friend just reapply for a new green card and, if she should reapply would the process be the same? (filing I-130, NVC, etc.) or is she supposed to use different forms since her mother already had a green card. My friend and her sister both live and work in the US for several years now and have the financial means to sponsor their mother.

Thank you for your responses

My wife and step-daughter have 2-year green card and have applied for 10 year permanent residence last year. They each received a 24 month extension to Green Card expiration while the application is being reviewed. Has anyone had problems traveling outside U.S. and reentering with expired Green Card with 24m extension? We want to go to Spain this summer but want to be confident no problem returning.
