How it's used in a real communication situation:

You just need a word, so you can get an idea across. What is the word for "bridge?" You need to meet someone at the bridge in an hour. Which way do you go? You look up the word "bridge" and show the translation to the other person (or, alternatively, have the unit speak it). With gestures, you indicate you want to know which way.

The other person points. Or, alternatively, the other person looks up "South" and shows you the translation. Head south, and you'll get to the bridge.
