Without a short example program, I don't know what the problem is.

Unless you are rewriting the widget you REALLY don't want to do this.
Most likely this will break the Text widget.

What does this mean?  If you want to just read the values, I would hope that the

you want to change the translation table then simply changing the resources or
using XtOverrideTranslations() or XtAugmentTranslations() should do the trick.
