Two issues:

1. You can't talk to a control in a repeater from outside the repeater other than asking for an "aggregate" of an entire column such as the sum or average. You can talk to the control from inside itself (i.e. in a method you can say self.translation = "foo = 1") or even from inside another control in the repeater. There are tricks for getting around some of the problems, see www.krt.com/mac/opofaq.html for more info.
2. The translation property for a control in a repeater applies to the entire repeater, not just the row you're in. So if you want a different list for each row based on some value, you're SOL.
