It basically prefixes different digits to called number based on where the call is coming from.

As to why 0, vs. 00 vs. 000 is prefixed you would need to ask the person who designed it, perhaps it was meant to tag the call differently for further routing.

Omerpal,

You need to do some study. I am afraid thats the only way you will learn...

Here is an excellent documentation on understanding translation rules...

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk652/tk90/technologies_tech_note09186a0080325e8e.shtml

If you have any question after reading it then feel free to ask. I am sure once you read the doc you will understand those configurations

Answer address is used for incoming dialpeers ( both incoming and outgoing ). It makes decision based on

ANI (Calling number) output.
