The way translation engines are trained is with a body of written text in two languages, which teaches the engine both both words translate and how they fit in equivalent semantic contests.

Of course a person as put in effort, so has in every language. But that’s irrelevant if there isn’t a large body of text in both languages to learn from. I’m sure German and Dutch have a looooot of shared texts.
