Ad hoc is not generally translated into English, it's left untranslated (pronounced "add hock"). If you're looking for a translation, it's literally "to this", and is used to mean "formed for a specific purpose only" ("an ad hoc committee") or sometimes "spontaneous; improvised" ("an ad hoc piano recital").
