There's nothing wrong working with a language you don't know yet. It's a common exercise found in most good learning methods, and a great one. Back in school, we often translated Latin authors as soon as we got the bases. The error is to think you do read in this way—like reading “The Stranger” in French with a dictionary—or that your translation is valuable in any way. It's a plain exercise, something you should destroy or forget once it's done and corrected. However, it should definitely be carried on along with a solid understanding of grammar. Do not try to translate something you have literally zero experience with.

I'm currently translating subtitles to languages not available in the internet. I plan on sharing them.

Something I lack but not something I'm struggling with. The internet is helping with conjugations and grammar.

Language isn't a puzzle where each piece has to be retrieved and put next to the right one. You won't perform a good translation—and probably won't learn that much—if you can't understand the sentence as a whole and get the intimate link between each part. The same way you won't be a chemist by checking the substance on Wikipedia, you won't learn a language with the sole help of internet. On the contrary, I highly suggest to never use it.

>I plan on sharing them
Maybe someone will download it and use it to learn the language, which is partly why internet is a dangerous learning material.

I do understand the sentences and can translate them nicely.

Romance languages are not Chinese.

How much worth the opinion of someone who doesn't speak the language?

It's plain delusion to think you can easily master and translate a foreign language because it's supposedly connected to yours.

OK, nice opinion.
