The Translator Game

Hi there! 
As the title indicates, this is a game where you will get to "pretend" to be a translator, because this little game involves non-English langauges. (which I hope is not against the rules).
The idea is, that person 1 is posting a non-English word, that person 2 has to translate into English.
It can be any language, and any word, as long as it is not against the rules.
So, if you are a non-native English speaker, this means you might have an advantage - at least when it comes to finding the word-to-be-translated.
Try not to cheat using a translator-site
I hope you get the idea
And I hope it will work, and that it won't be too difficult.
I will start:
Translator, please translate: hund
Tip: it is an animal

Feel free to:
If you want to you can help the translator by leaving a tip, such as category
After your Word has been translated, you can give the right translation
Tell the langauge of your word
