# SQLInstallTranslator Mapping
When an ODBC *2.x* application calls **SQLInstallTranslator** through an ODBC *3.x* driver, the Driver Manager maps the call to **SQLInstallTranslatorEx**.An application should not call **SQLInstallTranslator** in the ODBC *3.x* Driver Manager with the *lpszInfFile* argument set to a value other than NULL. The ODBC.INF file used in ODBC *2.x* is no longer supported in ODBC *3.x*, even for backward compatibility.
