what is the Difference between Prompt Table and Translate Table?

Prompt Table:

If you want to provide prompt support for a field based on the data

stored in a separate table, enter the name of the table you want to use as the

Prompt Table at: Record field properties - Edits - Prompt table.

This will enable users to position their cursor on the field and press F4 to

prompt for a list of values stored on the table.

Translate Table:

The translate table is a table that stores values for fields that

need to be validated but don't need individual tables of their own.
