Why translate rhymes the way it does
Translate sits on the long /eษช/, transcribed /a/ in our engine, and ends with a clean stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 195 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 202, assonance 5,493, and consonance 882. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With translate, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
