Gemelo versus Mellizo

Hi! This is my first time asking a question on here so I don't know how quickly I'll get a reply. I take Spanish as a class, but I failed my second semester. My school did some weird things and now a year later I'm retaking it... without any knowledge from the first semester which is why I'm on here.
My teacher and our textbook (VHS Senderos Supersite) say that gemelo/a translates to twin. Is this a dialect difference? Or is it just a translation error?
