Well, the base layer of primes references the term “NSM” (which stands for “natural semantic metalanguage”, Wierzbicka and Goddard’s theory which holds, among other things, that there is a universal core of base concepts across languages; the count of 60 such primes coincides with the 2002 iteration; there's also a 14 prime version from 1972 and a 65 prime version from ~2014.)
The layering beyond the primes isn't consistent though, and wouldn't be so much a translation as new work for each language.
