Anytime someone writes "Z literally translates to Y", in 9 out of 10 cases they don't know what translation actually is.
Literal translation is one of the worst forms of translation. Literal translation very often misses the mark.
As for Google Translate, be aware that Google Translate is programmable. In other words, people can take a phrase, text string etc and enter a translation they think is correct, useful or accurate. Which means you can also mess with it.
High probability that this has been input in to the Google Translate database (something anyone logged in can do) in order to generate disinformation and disrupt the actual truthful information about Balenciaga.
Such a scam was recently run to the name "Vladimir Zelenskyy".
This is like someone going to Wikipedia and inputting fake information. Wikipedia, however, has dedicated curators. I don't think Google Translate has that level of supervision or quality control.
