There are tools for that; offline you have various 
PO-editors with translation memories (TM) e.g. Lokalize, 
POEdit, Virtaal and more.

Online there are various services; for this particular 
action you may check Open-Tran; there's a Maltese vocabulary 
lookup (bil-Malti=mt):
<http://en.mt.open-tran.eu/suggest/file>

Open-Tran parses translations done in many open-source projects.

Best regards,
