I think you want this: 

#lang racket

(define *lex*
  '((cat   gato   katze)
    (dog   perro  hund)
    (eats  come   frisst)
    (jumps salte  springt)
    (the   el     die)))

;; I also took the liberty of cleaning up your original code, 
;; using full Racket because it is what your teacher/you chose 
(define (translator wort lexikon sprache)
  (cond ((null? lexikon) '(Wort wurde nicht gefunden))
        ((member wort (first lexikon))
         ((sprache->selector sprache) (first lexikon)))
        (else (translator wort (rest lexikon) sprache))))

(define (sprache->selector sprache)
  (cond
    ((equal? sprache 'english)  first ) 
    ((equal? sprache 'spanisch) second) 
    ((equal? sprache 'deutsch)  third)))

;; the code you want: 
(define (translator* worte lexikon sprache)
  (map (lambda (ein-wort) (translator ein-wort lexikon sprache)) worte))

;; the example: 
(translator* '(the dog jumps) *lex* 'deutsch)


The question you should ask now is how to get from here to there 
systematically. It is never about coding, but always about finding the code 
systematiclly.
