You should note that any such translation is, at best, a rough
approximation. The "meaning" of a word is often strongly dependent on
context and other factors that might not be immediately "obvious" to a
machine translation system (such as Systran, which powers the site in
question). Depending on the language, there are also bilingual dictionaries
online in various places. This may be more in keeping with what you have in
mind...

Internationalization is an architecture.
It is not a feature.
