Which word should one use -- "to", "as", or "into", or another word or phrase-- in sentences such as this one: "[Idiom] translates [to, as, into] [translation]? For example, "Piece of cake" translates [to, as, into] easy task." Or is there a better word choice than "translate"?

can you provide some context? Is this about two different human languages; computer programming languages; metaphors; chemistry? – Jeff Schaller Aug 23 '16 at 12:42

@JeffShaller All of the above, except chemistry. I would also add idioms. – Richard Kayser Aug 23 '16 at 12:51
