That's a good way to learn about apertium, I'm guessing that you are using
this process to learn about apertium pipeline. Beware though, there are
times google's translation might differ from apertium, since they are two
different engines developed with completely different machine translation
techniques.

That is what the transfer system is for. To put it simply, you could write a
simple rule to accept the first one in this kind of 'totally equal' meaning.
But that's not the case most of the time. After studying apertium's pipeline
a little more, it would be more cleared to you.
