Translation is not a process of mapping a word (language A) to a word (language B). Translation is by dictionary definition a process of expressing sense/meaning of text with a different language. If a Dutch word can be only exressed by a full page of text in English, it's just fine, it's still translation! The correct CS analogy is therefore not float to int conversion, but transpiling Pascal to ASM: the fact that one call in the former requires a bunch of assembler commands doesn't mean it's untranslatable.
