No, this is unrelated. The term translator handles input stream of characters. It would be useful to get the scancode directly and do mapping in the translator. What you mean should probably be handled by a device similar to framebuffer device in Linux. The GGI people have some ideas here, I am sure, and i think they are interested in contributing a translator. Maybe this translator could do text mode as well.
