[comp.windows.x] What is the purpose of translation

What is the purpose of the translation manager, it does not seem to work in a
useful manner.  I am writing a terminal emulator, and I figure I can modify
the behavior of the text widget by overriding certain translations.
Unfortunately, overriding a single translation often break all of the other
translations.  Am I wrong in my assumption that I can modify a widget by
modifying the translation?
