C-, is not a character.  AFAIK, keyboard-translate takes only characters.

You can only bind C-, on window systems, and on a terminal avoid using
it, since it won't be transmitted as ASCII codes.

You can check what is transmitted by a terminal in a shell by prefixing
your keychord by C-v:

    C-v C-, --> ,
    C-v C-\ --> ^\
                                                                

In emacs you can see what is received with C-h c, C-h k, or insert it
into the buffer with C-q.  In the later case, if you get an errror:
quoted-insert: Wrong type argument: char-or-string-p, 67108908 
it proves that C-, is not a character.

    (characterp (aref (kbd "C-,") 0)) --> nil
