The intended question, I think, is if you were to find a dictionary for some alien language (not a translators dictionary, but a dictionary for people who speak that language to look up definitions of words), can you translate most of the dictionary to English? What if you additionally had access to large amounts of conversations in that language, without any indication of what the aliens were looking at/​doing at the time of the conversation?
