private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e){

            MouseButtons aa = MouseButtons;
            if (aa == MouseButtons.Middle && Form.ModifierKeys == Keys.Control)
                      my_translate(textbox1.text);
}

Why detecting during a timer ?
More Details Please.

For "usually" detecting and handling of KeyPress Events you could use Solution 1

You would have to use the given EventArgument Property to determine which Key was pressed.

like this

C#

private void objectXY_KeyPress(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
    if(e.KeyChar == (char)Keys.Enter && Form.ModifierKeys == Forms.Keys.Control)
    {     }
}

or this (depends on which .NET Version you work)

C#

private void textBox1_KeyPress(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
    if( e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter && e.Modifiers == Keys.Control)
    {     }
}

This one is to handle multiple modifiers.

C#

private void textBox1_KeyPress(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
    if( e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter && e.Modifiers == (Keys.Control || Keys.Shift)
    {     }
}
