If you want to translate keys why do you use local-set-key? 
Use: keyboard-translate !

Now, if what you really want is to bind a function to a key, then use
local-set-key: (local-set-key (kbd "A-o") ...)  or whatever key
combination you use to get 'ò'.

A- = Alt
C- = Control
M- = Meta
S- = Shift
s- = Super
H- = Hyper
