I don't see any such claim on the Netmask.it site.
Anyway, it seems to me that the original question may have been mis-phrased.
If the question was about a program that substitutes words from a 
glossary, then you just need a big enough glossary. If the question was 
about transcribing English words in Hebrew letters, which is what the 
provided examples look like, then it's about transcription, not 
translation, and seeing that English spelling is inconsistent, it 
wouldn't be trivial.
