It’s not ideal, but this code should work for now (_only_ from the Gateway/Perspective):

```auto
from org.apache.commons.lang3 import LocaleUtils

from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway import IgnitionGateway
from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.i18n.translation import TranslationPackageDiff

translationLocale = LocaleUtils.toLocale("en_US")

modifications = TranslationPackageDiff()

modifications.addTranslation("term", translationLocale, "translation")

IgnitionGateway.get().getLocalizationManager().applyDiff(modifications)

```
