I think that if you put in your /etc/menu-methods/translate-menus the lines:

  subtranslate section->section
     Apps/Games/  Games/      #any entry whose $section="Apps/Games"
     Games/       Games/      #any entry whose $section="Apps/Games"
  endtranslate

(note the first word is "subtranslate", not substitute), then you
will get what you want. Please tell me if I misunderstood you.
