The save translation command is a manual administrative action used in Avaya Communication Manager. When an administrator makes changes to the system's configuration (known as translations), these changes are initially applied only to the system's active Random Access Memory (RAM). The save translation command commits these changes from volatile RAM to the system's non-volatile hard drive. This ensures that the new configuration is preserved and will be loaded if the system is rebooted or experiences a power failure.

A. It runs automatically after every SAT command.

This is incorrect. The command must be executed manually by an administrator to prevent the loss of unsaved changes and to control when configuration changes are permanently committed.

B. It writes a copy of the translation data to the FTP Server.

This describes a backup operation, which is performed by a different command, such as backup translations. The save translation command pertains to local storage persistence.

D. It writes a copy of the translation data to RAM memory.

This is incorrect. The translation data being modified already resides in RAM. The purpose of the command is to copy the data from RAM to a persistent storage medium.
