It's a FAQ:

  Q2.1.3 Translation Table Syntax messages at Startup

I get tons of translation table syntax error messages during startup. How do I get
rid of them? 

There are two causes of this problem. The first usually only strikes people using the
prebuilt binaries. The culprit in both cases is the file XKeysymDB 

     The binary cannot find the XKeysymDB file. The location is hardcoded at
     compile time so if the system the binary was built on puts it a different place
     than your system does, you have problems. To fix, set the environment
     variable XKEYSYMDB to the location of the XKeysymDB file on your
     system or to the location of the one included with XEmacs which should be
     at:
     <xemacs_root_directory>/lib/xemacs-19.13/etc/XKeysymDB
     The binary is finding the XKeysymDB but it is out-of-date on your system
     and does not contain the necessary lines. Either ask your system
     administrator to replace it with the one which comes with XEmacs (which
     is the stock R6 version and is backwards compatible) or set your
     XKEYSYMDB variable to the location of XEmacs's described above.
