If I understand the question correctly, the answer is yes. For example: the 7th note of the C scale is the 7th of a C chord. If it's lowered a half step, it's called a dominant chord, and if it is not flatted, it's called a major 7th. In the case of the C scale, it's the B. C, E, G, and B is a Cmaj7. C, E, G, and B-flat is a C7.

How do you translate guitar to piano?

It's extremely simple. If you're using sheet music with the chords written on already, then there is no change at all! If you're not, then what you need to do is find the bass note of the chord. So, for a chord consisting of C, E, and G, the Bass note is C and that's the chord you need to play on the guitar :)

A basic chord, a triad, is made up of the root note, the third, and the fifth. The root note is the naming note for the chord. For example, the C major chords root is C. Then the third of that chord would be three notes up to E starting with C(C - D- E). The fifth is the G, which is five notes up from C (C-D-E-F-G). Any chords that are formed naturally by the notes of the key that it is in, are called diatonic chords. C major is a diatonic chord in the key of C.

The numbers indicate variants on a chord, such as a suspension to be resolved, or a chord with an added 7th tone (for example, G7 would be a G chord, but add in the seventh note above, an F for a bit more interest).
