Google Translate's Latin translations are just a short markov model. https://www.reddit.com/r/latin/comments/6akqdi/why_is_google_translate_so_bad_for_latin_a/

  I really wish someone would come up with some better Latin translation software/service. Google Translate is so bad for Latin it is close to useless.

  If I'm reading that post right, Latin and other languages all use the same model, they just have more training data for more common pairs of languages.

    They use some kind of neural net thing for other languages. e.g. here is a paper https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.08144 https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.08144
