As to Greek to English, the standard is An Intermediate Greek–English Lexicon, usually called the Liddle-Scott or more informally the 'Middle Liddle'. More comprehensive is A Greek-English Lexicon, commonly called the LSJ (from the authors, Liddle-Scott-Jones) or 'Great Scott' (as it's fairly large).
Google Translate uses Markov chains, basically it translates five words at a time from a standard corpus of validated text.
