For example....."Kokoro no Sekai". In english, it would (should) mean "Heart of the World". Not much difference. You're using one very simple example. Half of the things I put into the translator don't make any sense coming out, and when I put them back through going the other way, they mean something entirely different from what I started with.

It's because of what Phantom said. So much of the Japanese language is dependent on context that it's next to impossible to figure out what means what with something as simple as Google Translate.
