Yes it will do. Parliamo means both "we talk" (or speak) and "let's talk" depending on context. Online translation services are complete crap. They are no substitute for even a little knowledge and study.
Time for an Italian grammar lesson.
In Italian, the imperative form of a verb is formed according to certain rules. The first person plural imperative form, for example of parliamo, let us talk, is identical to the first person plural present indicative - we talk (or speak).
An Italian speaker would know what is meant from tone of voice (spoken) and/or context (spoken and written). The weakness of online translators is that they have no "knowledge" or "awareness" like a person does.
