The ruling addresses that on pages 9-11. The court noted that in a pretty similar case (the same google translate error), a different did apply the good-faith exception.
But the court distinguished this case from the other based on several factors. This cop didn't ask in english or point to the trunk. And the cop admitted he had other options other than google translate.
It's a close call. I think it probably should apply, but I see the other side.
