I know about system.util.modifyTranslation for adding or modifying global translations.
But what about removing translation (key) with scripting? Is this possible?
I didn’t find any reference for deleting single one or more keys from global translations anywhere in the documentation or on the forum…?
Oh, I’m on Ignition v7.9.14.
I found this: MutableTranslationPackage (removeKey), so it’s possible to remove translations (keys).
But I really don’t know how to use this in a script.
Can someone provide an example, please…? 
@PGriffith or @KathyApplebaum maybe… this doesn’t work in v7.9.14…?
from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway import IgnitionGateway
IgnitionGateway.get().getLocalizationManager().removeTerm("string")
Should do it
Yes, I tried that, but the thing is, that when I’m doing:
from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway import IgnitionGateway
I get an error:
IgnitionGateway, GatewayContext, and the TranslationManager are only accessible in the gateway scope. You won’t be able to run this in an event like that without sending a message to the gateway to have it execute there.
I found out that IgnitionGateway is on V8.0.
I’m using v7.9.14(13) and I need to use SRContext.
Then I get no error but the term is also not deleted despite that log says otherwise:
When I open Translation Manager in designer, the ‘deleted’ term (key) is still there with all translations.
Even closing the designer and opening again (to refresh translations_e1_v1.dat in .ignition\cache folder… in Windows) doesn’t help.
OK, what I ended up using is this:
and is working as it should.
I’m calling this from my button actionPerformed event:

I have question not related to the topic
From the screenshot above, it seems that you have a table with all the translation terms in translation manager from which you can select one and delete. How did you populate all those terms in a table?
What I see depicted in the image is the Translation Manager. It is accessible in the designer from the "Tools" dropdown.
