Translating text best practice

Hi, I have been asked some very specific questions about translation. I have a customer who is producing website information in multiple languages. The question was is it best to prompt ChatGPT in each language to generate the content? or can we prompt ChatGPT in English to generate a variety of copies in a variety of languages? Will this content be fluent or will it be like a literal translation which can sometimes be off? I have told them someone will still need to proof this.

I believe they should be able to get ChatGPT to generate the content from English prompts and this should be better than using Google translate (Which I think they use now) but wanted some guidance from anyone who has experience with this.
