Customizing Translation Creation Hook
Use the translation creation hook to customize the general attributes of translation objects created for a translation package. The translation creation hook is controlled by the xconf property com.ptc.tml.preparation.CustomTranslationCreationHook in the wt.properties file.
The steps to customize the translation creation hook are as follows:
1. Develop java code — Create a java class that extends the abstract class com.ptc.tml.preparation.CustomTranslationCreationHook and implements the desired behavior per your business requirement.
2. Register the customization — Add the com.ptc.tml.preparation.CustomTranslationCreationHook property to the codebase\wt.properties file. The value of the property should be the name of the class implemented in step 1.
3. Restart method server.

It is not recommended to modify the CADNAME of a translation document.

Following is a sample code which adds the prefix ‘PTC’ to the Translation Number attribute of translation documents.
