A /gloss/ <http://www.dictionary.com/browse/gloss?r=75&src=ref&ch=dic>
is an explanation, annotation, or translation. You see it in the word
/glossary./ It usually implies a side-note, something that explains a
main text.
I don't think it's exactly the right word for entries in a translation
dictionary, but I don't know what is.
