If it's good, it's because they have a translated copy.

I've been using online translation for 20+ years.

Google started with copies of EU documents. The same thing in different languages. It's brute force pattern comparison of phrases to known translations.

"a Ben Aaronovich novella that was released in German before it was released in English"
But how much of it wasn't phrases already known to Google?

If you found it good enough you were lucky.
