I'd wager there are no more than a dozen people in the world fluent in Latino Sine Flexione... And unfortunately for them, Google Translate is based on statistical translation so they don't hire people primarily for their language skills.
What they would need to add it, is a large corpus of bilingual text, and an even larger corpus of monolingual text in the target language (in this case Peano's Latino Sine Flexione). But they did add Esperanto, and the translation is quite decent although the corpus can't be all that big (and indeed, Googlers have said it isn't). For Latino Sine Flexione, though, you're looking at a corpus maybe one tenth as big, and then I'm being generous. The good news is classical Latin is available in the translator already! :) Maybe in ten or fifteen years, Google Translate will have progressed to the point that it can handle dialects, related languages, improvised loan words and different spelling systems - perhaps well enough that it can guess a translation without being completely confident what language it's dealing with. Latino Sine Flexione is similar enough to Latin that someone versed in Latin should understand a lot; it should be within Google Translate's reach too, one day. -- Harald Korneliussen (not associated with Google, all opinions are my own).
