There is an init called Key-Str that does exactly what you are asking
for (although the abbreviation file is set through a DA). I have not
used it extensively (in my SE) but everything indicates that it works.
Is this the one that you were using??.
BTW, I think that QuickKeys can also do this type of translation.
