Translating File build in Illustrator to Spanish (or Different Languages)

I have a number of labels created for client in illustrator and now he wants them translated to Spanish.
I thought the easiest way would be to take My Illustrator PDF open in Acrobate and select Translate. Which then converts to Adobe Express (it doesn't like text effects and attributes, and have to keep the layers below 200). After trial and error and removing the effects and attributes I was abel to get the Adobe Express conversation o be correct. Then translate that file. But the conversion also changes all the text alignment and breaks a text block into single lines of text that flow too far.
My question is: The this still the best solution knowing that I will have edit the translated file in Illustrator to copy and paste single lines of text back into the text boxes so it can be rescaled and reflow correctly and also reply the text effects and attributes.
This process has worked very smoothly for a simple text document but seems to be too much for a label design. I've attached some screen shots of before and after.
Any advice or help to make this a more "turn-key solution" would be appreciated.
