.TP
.I \- sym_inout
symbol to be translated; result of translation

.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
.I XkbTranslateKeySym 
applies the transformations specified in 
.I mods 
to the symbol specified by 
.I sym_inout. 
It returns in 
.I buf 
the string, if any, associated with the keysym for the current locale. If the 
transformations in 
.I mods 
changes the keysym, 
.I sym_inout 
is updated accordingly. If the string returned is larger than 
.I nbytes,
a count of bytes that does not fit into the buffer is returned in 
.I extra_rtrn. XkbTranslateKeySym 
returns the number of bytes it placed into 
.I buf.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.TP 15
buf
Returns the string, if any, associated with the keysym for the current locale.
