Question about translation of a largely US phrase into other languages [View all]

Literal translations may not be best, so what is the best resource to get culturally relevant translations of sayings like Black Lives Matter, for example? Do I need to find people fluent in each language, or is there another way to go about it? An online translator that goes beyond the literal perhaps? I've looked to no avail.

Thanks!
