regex – Live replacement for regular expressions with Javascript

I\’m writing a code for live replacement of specific words in a text field as the user types.

I\’m using regex and javascript:

The first array has the regular expressions to be found, and the second array has the words that should replace any them.

source = new Array(/\\srsrs\\s/,/\\sñ\\s/,/\\snaum\\s/,/\\svc\\s/,/\\scd\\s/,/\\sOq\\s/,/\\soke\\s/,/\\so\\sq\\s/,
                /\\soque\\s/,/\\soqe\\s/,/\\spq\\s/,/\\sq\\s/,/\\sp\\/\\s/g,/\\spra\\s/,/\\sp\\s/,/\\stbm\\s/,
                /\\stb\\s/,/\\std\\s/,/\\sblz\\s/,/\\saki\\s/,/\\svlw\\s/,/\\smara\\s/,/\\sqlq\\s/,/\\sqq\\s/,
                /\\srpz\\s/,/\\smsm\\s/,/\\smto\\s/,/\\smtu\\s/,/\\sqro\\s/,/\\sqdo\\s/,/\\sqd\\s/,/\\sqnd\\s/,
                /\\sqto\\s/,/\\sqm\\s/,/\\sjah\\s/, /\\sc\\/\\s/,/\\scmg\\s/,/\\s\\+\\sou\\s\\-\\s/,/\\sflw\\s/,
                /\\sxau\\s/,/\\sto\\s/,/\\sta\\s/);
after = new Array(\"risos\",\"não\",\"não\",\"você\",\"cadê\",\"o que\",\"o que\",\"o que\",\"o que\",\"o que\",\"porque\",
            \"que\",\"para\",\"para\",\"para\",\"também\",\"também\",\"tudo\",\"beleza\",\"aqui\",\"valeu\",\"maravilhoso\",
            \"qualquer\",\"qualquer\",\"rapaz\",\"mesmo\",\"muito\",\"muito\",\"quero\",\"quando\",\"quando\",\"quando\",
            \"quanto\",\"quem\",\"Já\",\"com\",\"comego\",\"mais ou menos\",\"falow\",\"tchau\",\"estou\",\"está\");

This is the function that does the replacement:

function replacement(){
for(i=0; i<source.length; i++){
    newtext = \" \"+document.getElementById(\"translation\").value+\" \";
    console.log(newtext);
    if(myregex = newtext.match(source[i])){
    newafter = after[i];
    rafael = myregex+\" \";
    document.getElementById(\"translation\").value = document.getElementById(\"translation\").value.replace(rafael, newafter);
    }
}
}

My problem is every time the function is called to replace an expression with only one letter, the replacement is being made on the first occurrence of that letter, even within a word. I thought looking for that letter with \\s before and after would solve it, but it didn\’t.
