A community member asked if using Google translations of compatibly licensed content on Wikipedia constitutes a violation of Google's copyrights.

It is highly unlikely that Google gains copyright ownership when a person uses their software to make a derivative translation. I am unable to find any court rulings that would support that outcome.
