Google Translate analyses translations on documents on the web, so if there aren't many documents available in both of two languages, you can infer that Google Translate won't work well for those two.
It works exceptionally well for Germanic languages, however, which have grammatical structures that closely resemble that of English. Dictionary translations are thus effective.
