I studied both Hebrew and Greek in seminary and it's true. There is no translation of the text but rather transliteration where you try to find a modern analogue to an ancient word. Sometimes you can find a close match, other times you're just trying to get reasonably close.

It's like with the transliteration of the Hebrew word "alma" which fundamentalists like to claim means virgin but actually means young woman. ( http://www.outreachjudaism.org/alma.htm )
