I understand your complaint, but I consider this a feature.
Learning vocabulary and learning grammar can be split apart.
I'd prefer it go the other way, to translate the current language's grammar into the other language's grammar. If you are learning Japanese, for example, having the English grammar match the grammar of Japanese would be a smoother learning experience (I think) than flipping grammar at the translation point.
But in any case, I would want the grammar to match if I am learning vocabulary. I don't want to have to guess, or presuppose the rules of the grammar.
