Congratz barando!

Now that you are a translator, you may be help me out as I am sometimes in trouble.

When trying to translate from English to German and vice versa to communicate
with German sellers on Ebay, sometimes things do not go as expected. For example,
we have this part:
 
Part No: 4166  Name: Train, Track Sleeper Plate 2 x 8 with Cable Grooves
* 
4166 Train, Track Sleeper Plate 2 x 8 with Cable Grooves
Parts: Train, Track
that is called "sleeper".

But sometimes, when I use translation from its German word, via google translation
page, it gets translated to something like "lovers"! Worst is when I put an English
text and sleepers gets translated to something I don't mean. I am not sure
to what word it gets translated and what word should be used in German, but can
you also help me out?

When you use Google Translate for translating a word that may have multiple meanings,
try to be more specific in what you are asking Google to translate. Having a
context is required for understanding and thus for properly translating.

Like "sleeper" - "Schläfer" - "sleeper (someone who sleeps)"
But "railway sleeper" - "Eisenbahnschwelle"
with "railway" - "Eisenbahn"
suggest it could be "Schwelle" which translates back to "threshold", so "Eisenbahnschwelle"
is the more appropriate translation.

Interesting you actually wrote a very serious comment but for what times do you
apply your sense of humor?

To translate concepts or specialized equipement or even proverbs, I use wikipedia.

For example I searched in Dutch for the word: "dwarsligger" (literally translated
in English thwart)
https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwarsligger_(spoor)
found the English version by clicking for the language English
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railroad_tie
Or clicking German
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahnschwelle
