Hi Sorry to respond to you so late. I didn't check Steemit that often, obviously.
I did translate English into my native language in the early days. However, I was automatically reading English without translating it after I studied in the US. I guess that is something to do with the qty of Input. Since I had to read and listen to English so much and my brain and has to get used to it. It is said that it will need a year for our brain to get used to a new language. I guess that we just need enough of "Input" of the second language.
