Generally speaking, Google translate is awful when it comes to sentences or paragraphs. The accuracy is not bad when it comes to translating word for word. Other than that best to find another method.

Yes sometimes ...... but what I do is reverse translate it after you have done it to see if it reads the same

The document in question is already in English. I'm quite sure most expats who are not native English speakers still have a good command of English.

I would think it possible to find such expats in a bar, restaurant or somewhere. I would think some would be willing to lend a hand for a good cause. Much better than any translate app.
