Rules of syntax and structure can vary, so you cannot do a word for word translation. Different words in languages may sound the same or have different meanings, but that is not always the same in every language. Livre in French can mean both pound and book for example. Other languages would have different words that sound the same but have different meanings. So context is important. Other things are important too, like pronunciation.
