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 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'

Good point. They will be used as labels in their noun form, viz:
Today: Shepherd's Pie
Tonight: Lasagna
Tomorrow: Pizza
Tomorrow night: Chicken Casserole

Today: Pizza
Tonight: Pizza
Tomorrow: Pizza
Tomorrow night: Pizza
FTFY.

It did the same thing with French: I don't know why it decided to use "le demain" instead of just "demain".

Thanks. They will be used as noun forms (see my reply to Garth).

Mostly, delete all instances of "le", "la", "der", and "gli", and you're close enough (either that or put "the" in front of the English versions).
Two of the Italian ones are seriously wrong, though; particularly "le stasera", which is wrong for two reasons:
1. "Stasera" is feminine, so it should be "la", except that:
2. "Stasera" is an elided form of "questa sera", so saying "la stasera" is like saying "the this evening". "La sera" is "the evening".
With "domani", "gli" indicates that it's plural, so it's like saying "all tomorrows"/"the future"; "tomorrow" is just "domani".
And unless you spent time with an Italian speaker practicing how to say "gli", it's unlikely that any Italian would understand you saying it, anyway -- the 'g' is sort-of silent (but you have to kinda roll the middle/back of your tongue), and it ends with a "yi" sound, rather than an "i" sound (the pronunciation is easy to demonstrate, but tricky to write down).

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.
