Translation table
A translation is a rendering from one language into another, or from an older form of a language into a modern form, more or less closely following the original.

The translation table is used when cuttering for a translation only when a uniform title plus language(s) is provided and when the main entry is a personal author or title.

  • The translation table is not used for entries with a corporate or conference heading.

If a language is not listed in the Translation table, select a number for that language which would agree alphabetically with the table and any translation(s) previously shelflisted in the same class.

For example, if a German translation is already shelflisted at .x15, a Greek translation would be .x16, Portuguese .x17, etc. This arrangement is considered a general guide.

    Note:
    The translation tables were not applied to the N schedules which have been modified at Princeton.
