Translation is not decoding. First, some words have more than one meaning. Cut- I cut my finger, he did not make the cut, I want that cut of meat, now cut that out! Second, some words do not have an exact equivalent in another language. Spanish has no word for safety- the closest equivalent is seguridad- security.
