I really do. My approach to translation is like this:
Look at the latin.
Put it off.
Realize it's due in three hours.
Open up an English translation of the text.
Go through the latin.
Translate.
Compare to the text.
Go back, see how they got their translation.
Translate again.
Ask for help.
Cry.
Submit work.
Worry that it's no good.
Stutter.
Repeat.
There's got to be an easier way.
