Aloe vera, not Crocodile’s tongue

This plant has Indonesian name “Lidah Buaya”. “Lidah” and “buaya” in Indonesian are comparable to “tongue” and “crocodile”, respectively, in English. Nevertheless, its English name is Aloe vera instead of Crocodile tongue. Replacing a word for a word is not translation.
