Current LC practice is to cutter 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.

Instead of using .x19 for other languages current LC practice is to select a number which would agree alphabetically with the table and any translation(s) previously shelf listed in the same class.
