There are about 6,500 spoken languages in the world. Google Translate has helped many to decode and understand words, sentences and paragraphs. It is free and fast, although not 100% accurate with larger blocks of text or for some languages.
This is possible because of Statistical Machine Translation (SMT). Computers analyse millions of existing translated documents from the web to learn vocabulary and look for language patterns. After that, Google translates it and picks the most statistically probable translation.
