In English it's either e.g. or full words.  But they can at least be
short words - you can replace
	FOOs (e.g. BAR or BAZ)
with the phrase that's normally considered its standard translation:
	FOOs (such as BAR or BAZ)
or less formally:
	FOOs, like BAR or BAZ,

Meanwhile
	FOO (i.e. BAR or BAZ)
translates as 
	FOO (that is, BAR or BAZ)
or perhaps something like
	FOO (meaning BAR or BAZ)
