PS -- I've been using emacs for 20 years (since the original TOPS-10 TECO version) and never even knew keyboard translation tables existed. Is this a new development?

Nope.  Here are the oldest references I can find in the ChangeLog* files:


Mon Jan  2 02:49:22 1989  Richard Stallman  (rms@mole.ai.mit.edu)
...
    * vt200.el (keyboard-translate-table): Make a table,
    and use it to interchange ESC and backquote.

Sat Mar 10 17:19:38 1990  Joseph Arceneaux  (jla at churchy.ai.mit.edu)
...
    * keyboard.c (get_char):  Re-set obj if we've keyboard-translated
    c.

Fri Oct 26 00:13:25 1990  Richard Stallman  (rms@mole.ai.mit.edu)
...
    * subr.el (keyboard-translate): New function.

And since you're a real old-timer, here's a reference from the *NEWS files (I

can only trace my Emacs experience back to a TOPS-20 implementation -- not
sure if it was TECO or not :-)


Changes in Emacs 1.12
...
* You can now specify a translation table for keyboard
 input characters, as a way of exchanging or substituting
 keys on the keyboard.
