Word of the Day - Chinese Constantly Incorrect

Hi,
So I use the Word of the Day widget on my Google homepage. I really liked it at first. I'm learning Chinese, but I also like to see in other languages (mainly to see if I actually remember anything from my short study of Italian in the past).
However, the Chinese just seems to often be incorrect. For example, for "Hi," this would be 你好 (ni3hao3) in Chinese. Yet, it had 打招呼 (da3zhao1hu5). This isn't how you say "hi," it means "to greet" someone. So nihao is a dazhaohu (at least I'm pretty sure).
There have been similar mistakes in the other words too, which have quite frustrated me. Also, Swahili would be nice.
Thanks.
