One of the main reasons I'm learning Spanish is so I can talk to the Spanish girl at work, lol. However, I've already tried before with another girl who only speaks Spanish, and I honestly didn't like the fact that we couldn't communicate much. It was my fault because I didn't know anything except "Hola" and very basic terms.
Google Translate relationships can be pretty frustrating. I'm wondering if I could reach a good level if I dedicated a full month to studying. So far, I'm doing one hour a day. Maybe this girl at work wouldn't mind teaching me along the way if we get into a relationship?
Do the girl at your work speaks a little english too? If it's 100% translate yeah, you can't keep it, but my take on a latina girlfriend (as someone that was married to a latino mam) is not only her but the whole family.
(in my own experience, yours could be different of course) They are very loud and talkative which can be good when trying to learn. Also the families tend to be closer, emotionally and physically so you live the language and make friends (god knows how much I miss them and their food) but their biggest pro is that they don't give a fuck. If you are tying to learn they will help you, even when you don't want them to LOL
Having a latino girlfriend is like living the language no matter where you are in the world.
Just prepare to be fat coz abuela won't take no mas as an answer! lol
Edit: also where do you work that have so many spanish people? spain?
