A problem with using google translate is it has trouble understanding context, so it can lead to wonky sentences or sentences with the wrong subject.
Ultimately, if you’re a learner I’d recommend just going at it with a dictionary on hand, it will take a lot longer but the sentences will typically come out better.
If you’re not interested in learning Japanese then I’d recommend using DeepL instead of google translate. It’s Japanese sentences tend to be translated more naturally into English, but you’ll still have to understand who/what the subject of sentences are when they’re omitted from Japanese sentences.
