Autumn leaves - multilingual

Just been facebook chatting with Boshra from Family Link Up we were having some fun and noticing that English is so confusing to translate to other languages.  I had to ask Boshra what was the Arabic for leaves and in the google translator - "leaves" also comes out as "leaves the room" meaning. Another is wind can be either wind in blowing or wind in wind the wool round the bobbin! in the case of wind and wind there is a pronunciation difference be it a subtle one.
