You mean very simple and common words? 

If there are not too many, Lisp structure is enough, that is how I am
using it in some CGI scripts for multi languages.

Emacs Lisp package could then just find if such word exists, if it
does not exist, it could ask you to translate, and it could fetch
definitions from dictionary to help you.

There is wordnut package for looking up into Wordnet dictionary, it is
free as in freedom dictionary, it is fast, and pressing enter on words
leads you to new words.

Not automatically if you mean that, it is not translation word by word.
