In that case, use "Mañana en la noche" as the translation for "tomorrow night" in Spanish. It is a better fit, according to the intended use in this particular example.

Google Translate tells me these are the equivalents for my English phrases (labels) in French, German, Italian and Spanish. While I generally trust Google, I thought it would be prudent to run the translations by native speakers. Any corrections (including casing) and comments are appreciated. Thanks!

I personally wouldn't trust Google Translate. I've found it wrong more times then not. It can be nice for getting context or enough of a translation to understand what is being said. I would never use it for anything official. Your mileage may vary.
Agreed. I don't rely on it for translating app resources, hence my original post. It serves its purpose when translating web pages or chunks of text when you want to get the gist of what's being said. /ravi

You need to drop the article in the german translation of tomorrow. If it's used with the article the meaning becomes morning. Cheers!

I think the biggest issue Ravi is how you are going to use some of these for example, 'tomorrow' - in French if wanted to say 'tomorrow' as Im talking to someone and I know I'll be back and see them tomorrow, I'd simply say 'à demain', Italian I'd simply say 'a domani' In all of the cases Google has given you, they have given you '(the) tomorrow' - but, Im not a native speaker, I can get by in French, Italian, German, and know enough Spanish to order a coffee, so hopefully Carlo Pallini, Maximillien etc will be able to help you more (and you might want to indicate in your question how/where you're using the words ie context) 'g'

Well, I don't trust Google translate at all, to many funny results for that. But even if it's useless for this case I think I should tip you off on my way to find translations for more technical cases. I simply look up what I want to translate in Wikipedia and look for the article in other languages, et voila.
