If it's broken enough that you can fit something through it try to slide some paper or one of those flexible cutting boards in front of the translite.
If there are loose pieces of glass but no risk of getting super glue on the translite you can try a dab of glue on a dowel or wooden spoon. Touch the loose glass, then pull it out when the glue sets.
thank you YeOldPinPlayer ill try the first one,this thing get me nervous dont want to scratch up the translite it got some damage beacuse a part of it was sticked to the glass...
Don't know if you are local but if you are in Austin (or willing to drive to Round Rock) I have a piece of glass I don't need. Yours for free. Came out of Stern so I'm not positive it would fit but I'm sure someone will confirm that for you (us).
thank you 85vett you are very kind!! im not in the US i have a good friend in living in Austing tho!.my main concern its how couald i remove teh pieces of glass from the plastic frame without doing any damage 
No worries. Do you have access to Laminate? If so, laminate a piece of notebook paper. That should be strong enough to slide between the translight and the glass and create a buffer between the two. Then you could slide the plastic piece off.
IF not laminate then anything that would be thin and semi Rigid should work for you. You just want a buffer between the translight and the glass.
