How to translate from a language to another language?

Before beginning with this blog in several languages, I looked for a simple way to translate of a language to another language all the articles that I would write, because I searched a lot and I found many plugins for WordPress that could do this; but non of them was perfect, so I decided for the hardest option that was to create 10 blogs each one for each language, therefore I avoided many problems.

There was only a detail: I do not speak 10 languages and I wanted that the meaning of my article had the same sense in the 10 languages and, a translator translates literally the text and in most of cases they change the complete sense of the message.

Solution: first, write in my native language; then, translate it to the English and in this step, the sense of some sentences will have changed, that is the reason because we have to make the necessary modifications in this language so that the message is the same one that in the native language (it is necessary to know English); finally, translate it again to the native language, therefore will be able to be verified the message and it will be due to apply the changes necessary to obtain a good result as far as the message. Once you have the text very well structured in English, It simply will be necessary to translate in the other languages and will be because, there are lots of English translators

In my case, I write in Spanish and then, I translate my article in English, after I translate it again to Spanish to make changes in the English text, because It is probably that the Spanish translated text will have mistakes; and finally, I publish my articles in other languages.
