We have two things:

1. Definitions of all these terms. For that we might be able to borrow 
from ninjawords, thefreedictionary.com (their terms of use look too 
restrictive to me), or wiktionary, for example:

http://ninjawords.com/happy

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/happy

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/happy

2. Our recommended translations of those English terms into other languages.
