Which method is more difficult for translation?

Question

Why do I find it more difficult to translate from English Language to my native language rather than translating from my native language to the English?

Answer 1

because when you translate into another language there are ways you can get around saying things - like saying it differently - when translating from a language there is only one set translation - hope this helps!!

i find the same thing and i'm english, learning german!

Answer 2

It is always that way. It is easier to translate from a foreign language to your native language, because you cannot master a foreign language as you do your native language, most of all if you learned the foreign language much later in life.
