That would depend entirely on what is in your robots.txt and .htaccess file...

Can you provide any further information about what access controls you have implemented?

The Google Translate referrals I've seen come from two IP address ranges, 64.233.0.0-64.233.255.255 and 209.85.128.0-209.85.255.255, and the "page" /translate_c. So the HTTP referrer string looks something like

http://64.233.10.213/translate_c?hl=de&te=de&...

where "..." is a whole bunch more query parameters.

If you've got code in your .htaccess file that blocks access based on the HTTP Referer header, then make sure it won't block referrers resembling that.
