It seems that (at least in the case of EventTranslations[]) only that 
file has an effect which comes "earlier" (I don't know if this is the 
correct English word) in alphabetical order.

If the backup file is named AKeyEventTranslations.tr instead of 
OriginalKeyEventTranslations.tr, the modifications do not take effect.

I do not understand completely how Mathematica interprets the contents 
of these files (and what it does when the same thing is defined in 
multiple files), so I think it is better to avoid having additional (and 
unneeded) .tr files in these directories.
