Sure. Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary of Current English, Third Edition:

translate: vt, sth (from) (into):

1. give the meaning of (sth said or written) in another language
2. remove (a bishop) to a different see; (in the Bible) take to heaven
without death.

You're welcome to look it up as well. :)

I'm not trying to make a statement about Alice, btw. But I agree with
them about "translate."
