NAME
       XtParseTranslationTable, XtAugmentTranslations,
       XtOverrideTranslations, XtUninstallTranslations - manage
       translation tables

SYNTAX
       XtTranslations XtParseTranslationTable(table)
             String table;

       void XtAugmentTranslations(w, translations)
             Widget w;
             XtTranslations translations;

       void XtOverrideTranslations(w, translations)
             Widget w;
             XtTranslations translations;

       void XtUninstallTranslations(w)
             Widget w;

ARGUMENTS
       table     Specifies the translation table to compile.

       translations
                 Specifies the compiled translation table to
                 merge in (must not be NULL).

       w         Specifies the widget into which the new transla-
                 tions are to be merged or removed.

DESCRIPTION
       The XtParseTranslationTable function compiles the transla-
       tion table into the opaque internal representation of type
       XtTranslations.  Note that if an empty translation table
       is required for any purpose, one can be obtained by call-
       ing XtParseTranslationTable and passing an empty string.

       The XtAugmentTranslations function nondestructively merges
       the new translations into the existing widget transla-
       tions.  If the new translations contain an event or event
       sequence that already exists in the widget's translations,
       the new translation is ignored.

       The XtOverrideTranslations function destructively merges
       the new translations into the existing widget transla-
       tions.  If the new translations contain an event or event
       sequence that already exists in the widget's translations,
       the new translation is merged in and override the widget's
       translation.

       To replace a widget's translations completely, use XtSet-
       Values on the XtNtranslations resource and specify a com-
       piled translation table as the value.

       The XtUninstallTranslations function causes the entire
       translation table for widget to be removed.
