The site provides translations from three different dictionaries. If they all come up with the same answer you can pretty much trust it. If it gives three different answers then it is reasonable to doubt the results.
Now if I gave you a completely different set of answers from what bailarina95 gave you which one would you trust? Hers or mine?
From my understanding, Ojala means God willing and is used with the subjunctive. It comes from Arabic. Ojalá que no llueva esta noche, translates basically as I hope it doesn't rain tonight.
lo que: that which (literally) Lo que me irrita mas, the thing that irritates me most...
guía=guide, guía de estudio for example. Cayó=fell, 3rd person singular past tense of the verb caer. Gritó=3rd person singular past tense of gritar, to shout or cry out.
Voz=voice, vayas=subjunctive of you go (no te vayas=don't go), pues= well....(I don't know a direct translation, I've just heard it used like that. Pues...si llueve esta noche podemos ir al cine. There might be other uses too. Those are all the ones I know how to say. And I THINK but I'm not sure, socorro means help but not like can you help me with homework, help as in emergency, someone-is-bleeding urgent help.
I know translators aren't always perfect but this one is pretty good, and you can always double-check with wordreference or a dictionary instead of a translator. If both of them say the same thing, you're good to go, and they're both good about telling you which definitions are from which countries. Most of these are pretty basic, easy words to check.
You can trust the translator. It works very well on single words, and reasonably well on sentences.
