# SQLInstallTranslator Function
**Conformance**  
 Version Introduced: ODBC 2.5, Deprecated  
  
 **Summary**  
 In ODBC 3.0, **SQLInstallTranslator** has been replaced by [SQLInstallTranslatorEx](../../../odbc/reference/syntax/sqlinstalltranslatorex-function.md). Calls to **SQLInstallTranslator** will be mapped to **SQLInstallTranslatorEx**. For more information, see **SQLInstallTranslatorEx**.  
  
 **SQLInstallTranslator** will return FALSE if an application calls it 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.
