Creating and editing translation tables

This page is from Microsoft

Updated: January 21, 2005

Like formats, translation tables allow you to change the output of WMIC commands to suit your needs. Translation tables are not as flexible or powerful as formats, but they are much simpler to create and edit.

Translation tables are used when you specify /TRANSLATE on the LIST or GET verbs. WMIC includes translation tables called BasicXML and NoComma. BasicXML converts the HTML symbols for greater-than and less-than characters into the actual characters.

Translation tables are defined in the MSFT_CliTranslateTable WMI class.
