Of course, practice, but keep in mind this: a translator is a traitor (this word play makes more sense in Italian), and by saying this I mean that the translator must give priority to the target language, of course without sacrificing the source language. If you're translating from the Spanish into English, immerse yourself in the mindset of the English speaker and the English speaking worlds and cultures. If you're working from English into Spanish, do not anglicize the Spanish, as virtually any North American Hispanic does.
For me, personally talking reading in both languages is the key.But when I say reading I mean literature.How can I improve my Spanish-English translation skills?
