No, Not really,  you either read the setrans.conf file directly, but 
this would break if you used a different translation library (mitre).

Or you could attempt to exhaustively search the namespace using:

        extern int selinux_raw_to_trans_context(security_context_t raw,,
                                                security_context_t * 
transp);

Which would have 16 * 1024! (Factorial) combinations.  IE It would take 
a long time.

If you call the functions and (raw == transp ) no translation.
