Hello, and thanks for an enjoyable question.

There's a very nice online tool for translating words into multiple
languages in one easy press of a computer key.  The site is at:

http://www.logos.net/

Enter your term into the search box, which will bring you to a results
page.  Then click on the "translation" button to bring up a list of
words in an amazing variety of languages (and in the original fonts,
as long as they are supported by your system).

For instance, for the word "father", I get two choices:

--Definition: A man who has begotten a child 

--Definition: To care for or look after someone as a father might 

Selecting the first, and clicking on "translation" brings up a list of
118 translations for father and related words like dad, as follows
[many of the non-standard fonts will not reproduce here, but you can
see them at the site itself]:
