Computers need context (in some cases much context) to pick the correct translation, which humans can guess.

E.g. Herrenvolk -> is a concated word. "das Volk" -> a people, a race

But "der Herr" -> yes one translation would be "gentleman", but it also means "master", "sir", "gent", "mister", "lord"

Now, a German speaker, with the usual basic historic knowledge, would recognize it as part of the Nazi vocabulary and know the meaning.
