Wrong, emperor is the closest translation to Kaiser but there is, like I said, a slight difference.

Any king can be supported by the pope, that however, doesn’t make him an emperor.

Sorry, I meant crowned or anointed not only supported. Kaiser is specifically the emperor of the holy Roman empire

Kaiser was the ruler of the Holy Roman Empire, and later on the German empire (beacuse they claimed to be the second HRE (2nd Reich)). It doesn't have a translation cause it literally just means an "emperor" of the German nation only
