However the translation is (almost) correct since it conveys the image of "working like a mindless drone".

This isn't right at all. Listen to the English version here.

Continuing from ‘droogs’, the word for ‘work’ in ‘nadsat talk’ is ‘rabbit’.

"Droogs" is a term taken from the British novel A Clockwork Orange. It really should not be translated into anything else for English listeners.

Incredibly enough, the guys at Wiktionary compiled a comprehensive lexicon of this invented slang. I had no idea there were so many words.

Doesn't the book itself also contain a translation table? Or maybe I had a special edition way back then.

Only in the American edition, or the first edition, or something. Anthony Burgess was actually not very keen on having it, he wanted readers to put in the effort.
Actually the term "roboten" is not german, it is part of the russian-influenced future slang the kids in "Clockwork Orange" use and derives from the russian word for "work" работать, same with "droogs" which means "friends" друг.
