How is the translated number recorded in the Call Detail Record when a dialed number is manipulated using a translation pattern?
The correct answer is C. It shows the translated number and not the originally dialed number. When a Cisco CUCM translation pattern manipulates a dialed number, the CDR records only the translated number, not the originally dialed one.

Why each option
When a Cisco CUCM translation pattern manipulates a dialed number, the CDR records only the translated number, not the originally dialed one.
CUCM always generates a CDR entry when a call is placed, regardless of whether digit manipulation occurred via a translation pattern.
CUCM does not preserve the originally dialed number in the CDR when a translation pattern is used - only the post-translation number is stored.
CUCM applies translation pattern digit transformations before routing the call, and the CDR engine captures the number only after all manipulations are complete. As a result, the CDR reflects the translated number exclusively, which affects billing records and post-call analysis when digit translation is in use.
CUCM CDRs log the full translated number, not merely an indicator that a call occurred; suppressing the actual dialed digits entirely is not standard CDR behavior.
