Eli5: do singers record movie soundtracks in a bunch of different languages? (Think phil collins with tarzan). Doesn’t this cost so much money?

Basically what the title says. I’m watching Tarzan in Spanish and realized that Phil Collins is actually singing the songs in Spanish. Not only that, but he sings the songs in French, Latin american spanish, and like 20 other languages. His pronunciation, to my almost bilingual ear, is pretty great. How the hell does this work? Do they have to hire people to do accurate translations? Then Phil Collins sings them? But he has to have a language coach of some sort, right?
