TRANS.TBL was a crude way to support (or at least record) long filenames on ISO 9660 CD-ROMs. The original ISO 9660 standard was limited to DOS "8.3"-style filenames. TRANS.TBL became obsolete as other extensions, mainly Rock Ridge and Joliet, became widely supported.
[edit] Format
Authoritative information about TRANS.TBL is hard to find, but it's easy to figure out the basics of it. A text file named "TRANS.TBL" or, apparently, "00_TRANS.TBL", is placed in every directory. It contains a list of the other files and subdirectories in that directory, and their corresponding long filenames.
