[DCRM-L] translation call numbers

[Robert Steele]

Assuming you have access to Cataloger's desktop, go to CSM (Classification
and shelflisting manual), shelflisting, translations (G150). In LC
practice, you don't distinguish among translations in the cutters
("Translations generally follow the original work in alphabetical order by
language"; "two translations into the same language in the same year ...
add a work letter to the date ... "). But I suppose you could establish a
local cuttering practice.
