It's using common crawl and wikipedia among other sources. The original purpose is something else.
Another anecdote that I find amusing is that Google Translate was trained on EU legal texts (among other sources), which are (generally) translated into 26/27 languages of the EU members. A huge, multinational bureaucracy, generated the texts by hand, but Google gets all the credit. I'm guessing that's part of the reason that Chinese isn't so accurate compared with other translations.
