My advice would be: using FME. But you have to know the crs of the data in you dwg. Then in fme you simply drag the dwg to the workspace, add a destination dataset, and link them via reprojector transformer (use your dwg crs for source crs and LL84 for destination crs). Some features from dwg may not be supported in kml, so i would throw a geometry filter before the reprojector filter outnwhat i needed. Theres options to copy labels to the kml feature names as well if ud like to know
