or maybe single word lookups are pretty useless for most translations? How would you identify those words which can be directly looked up in a dictionary vs those that require the current context for translation?

I would start by determining the number of words in the query. If it's equal to 1, the user probably wants to translate a single word, maybe give him the 1:1 dictionary result. If there's more, the other words possibly provide context, so let's use the sophisticated thing.
