Title: Same word having different meanings in different languages.

Is it possible that there are so many languages in the world, the written words can be same in more than one language having different meanings?

In that case Google translator will detect the text in multiple languages?

I mean the same word written in multiple languages having different meanings.

Note: In English language we have the same word could be having different meanings. A word in english could also be in French or German or Italian etc  languages having different meanings.

Is this possible ?

What is the word given in English for the above interpretation? I.e.Word in english could also be in French or German or Italian etc languages having different meanings.

Thanks & Regards,

Thank you.

Will it be a challenging task for compiling this dictionary?

i.e. Same words in different languages having different meanings.

Can this Dictionary assist the Google translator to detect multiple languages if the word exists in them with the meanings?
