There are people who expect translations like Google's.
Google is a multi-billion dollar company that has the resources to create highly refined products in a short time. That's not to say that doing a translator takes little time, let alone that it's easy.
However I quote a question from a user who gave a star, why does that happen?

"Questions : Why does 'Firefox Translations' connect to [o1069899.ingest.sentry.io] AND TO [incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org] AND TO [storage.googleapis.com], to the latter in particular? What privacy when a Google server is aware that user lambda is calling it?"

Hello Juan. The first server is used to report errors in the application and the second for telemetry. You can disable both on about:addons -> Firefox Translations -> Preferences and switching off the first two options. The last server is where our models are stored, and despite of its domain name which is due to GCP, it's a Mozilla property and Google does not have access to it.
