If the non-English language uses the same alphabet as English, I can think of one potential difficulty with the dictionary approach: words which are in fact English, but are spelled the same way as a non-English word.
Common examples:
“of” in English is also a Dutch word meaning “or”,
“in” is a word in a number of European languages including English…

Sorry, I haven’t got any constructive solutions other than the Mk1 eyeball.

Chris.
