AND ... you fixed a typo in the second version sent!
So for your question:
Considering that one can't usually map words one-to-one across
languages, you might be trying to do something impossible.
There's also the larger issue: word order
English changes it's meaning when word order is changed.
Translating other languages into English and not reordering the words
will probably not yield the intended meanings.
Context is VERY important in English.
Other languages change the word to imply differing context.
This may not be a great example, but I'd guess the word order in
Portuguese for this:
Jon picked up a gun and shot Matt.
Is probably different than this English word order.
