How come when I learn a new english word, I could here it and immediately understand what it means. But when I hear a word in a different language that I’m learning, like Japanese, I have to translate the word in my head instead of just understanding the meaning. Even with spanish, which I’ve grown up speaking, I have trouble keeping up with things since I translate a bit in my head. Also how do i stop head translating?

I speak two languages fluently and another two on a six year old level, and I never had to do it. I always just understand the meaning. Not sure why you do it, but it’s not a universal experience
