if in cell a1 is (cat) then in cell B1 should be (miau), if the a1 (dog) then b1 (wow), and if a1 (cow) then the b2 (mu)

try:
=VLOOKUP(A1;{"cat"."miau";"dog"."wow";"cow"."mu"}; 2;0)
or:
=IF(A1="cat";"miau";IF(A1="dog";"wow";IF(A1="cow"; "mu";"")))

and change the delimiter if the formulas don't work for your language
