A hint for that:

When you say you want to translate before rotate, I guess that you *want*
the object to orbit around the origin, when you rotate.
Try this: Translate your object as wished, then create a group and add the
object to it (it will probably be the only object in the group). Then rotate
the group as wished: Voila! Same effect as "first translating, then
rotating" - at the expense of some additional "bloated" code ;-)
