 ABSTRACT = {In this paper we present a translation principle, called the
 \emph{axiomatic translation}, for reducing propositional modal logics
 with background theories, including triangular properties such as 
 transitivity, Euclideanness and functionality, to decidable logics.
 The goal of the axiomatic translation principle is to find simplified 
 theories, which capture the inference problems in the original theory, 
 but in a way that is more amenable to automation and easier to deal with 
 by existing theorem provers.
 The principle of the axiomatic translation is conceptually very simple
 and can be largely automated.
 Soundness is automatic under reasonable assumptions, and termination of
 ordered resolution is easily achieved, but the non-trivial part of the 
 approach is proving completeness.}
