This would be very crude--there are a lot of translations that do not 
rely on a single word, but on
idiomatic expressions.  Even simple verb usage in the Germanic languages 
(at least) have two components
in the perfect tenses, and in English we have the "do" forms of most 
verbs--"do you go to work every day?"
and so on. That's why you need a real translation program.
