Why each option
In SmartView Tracker, the XlateSPort column displays the translated (NATed) source port when Source NAT is applied to a connection.
XlateDst shows the translated destination IP address, which is relevant to Destination NAT, not the source port.
XlateSPort stands for 'Translated Source Port' and is populated by Check Point's NAT engine when Source NAT (including Hide NAT) translates the originating port of a connection. Checking this column confirms which port the gateway assigned after translation, which is essential when troubleshooting port exhaustion or Source NAT behavior.
XlateDPort shows the translated destination port, which is used in Destination NAT or Static NAT port mapping scenarios, not Source NAT source port translation.
XlateSrc shows the translated source IP address (e.g., the Hide NAT IP), not the translated source port.
