It's Fräulein, not Fraulein. Very distinct difference in pronunciation, assuming Fraulein were to even exist.
'Frau' translates to, variously, 'woman' or 'lady,' (as an example: "Frau GreedyTop"="Lady GreedyTop) in either event not intended as in any derogative sense I or my Nürnberg geboren German teacher are aware of. In any case, Frau would most definitely not translate to 'old woman.'
The whole purpose of learning another language is to understand that word for word translation cannot convey the essence of one language vs. the other.
