I am not the English native speaker but I want to try all my best to correct your writing. I think it will help you and me
Corrected from yours:
"I sometimes read and hear idioms but I can't understand them. Is there a dictionary or a site which do translation or explanation meaning of idioms? If yes, what is it?"
Or more polite:
"I sometimes read and hear idioms but I am unable to understand some of them. Could you please let me know any dictionaries or sites which do translation or explanation meaning of idioms?"

Hello,
My opinion, it is difficult to understand the translation of an idiom to your primary language. A better way is to understand its meaning by explanation and its usage. To do so, just use the powerful search engine, Google.
For example, I want to understand "put yourself on other shoes", I just type "put yourself on other shoes meaning" on Google then I open one of the results here.https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/put+oneself+in+else%27s+shoes.
Hope it helpful
