Remarks

The TranslationTable property contains data records that correspond with the database. For translation records identified using partially correct parameters (either the code name or GUID is different than the value in the database), the actual values are loaded from the database for all fields. An index key referencing the correct data is then created from the partial parameters. The index key is used to obtain the record in future calls.
