Practically google translate is like a dictionary. If you only write one word on it, google can tell you the meaning of the word. Google Translate is notorious for being inaccurate.

It won't tell you the actual meaning of the word. It's completely botched.

It's especially bad at translating Eastern languages (such as Japanese) to Western languages (such as English).

You can tell just by copy-pasting Japanese text from a Japanese site (say, text on the Megpoid the Music website) and putting it into Google Translate (setting the second language to English). You'll get something that's damn-near incomprehensible.
