Your description isn't really clear enough for me to understand
exactly what you're doing, though I think I have gist of it.

Perhaps the following will help you:

When an accelerator table is installed on a destination widget,
if the events specified in it duplicate events already specified
for the destination then one of the two specifications is
ignored.  The default is to ignore the accelerator and leave
the original binding alone ("#augment"; see Section 10.4 of the
Xt manual.)

That's correct, there is no such function.  You could save the
original translations (before installing the accelerators) with
XtGetValues and re-install them with XtSetValues if you wanted,
but some might call that a hack.
