/sys$common/syshlp/INSTALHLP.HLB  —  /TRANSLATE  Description
    Within OpenVMS, when you specify a file name without a device,
    directory, or file type, OpenVMS usually attempts a logical
    name translation of the file name before it applies device,
    directory, or file type defaults. However, if you specify a
    device, directory, or file type, OpenVMS does not attempt a
    logical name translation.

    Using the /TRANSLATE qualifier forces INSTALL to attempt a
    logical name translation even if a device, directory, or file
    type are specified.
