To be completely and utterly honest, I think you're not quite there.

Your ability to understand meaning and convey that meaning is excellent (that is the hard part). You select the correct English words from what I can tell. Where you need a little work is converting those words into the structure of English grammar.

It is the difference between translation and localisation. It's about being sufficiently familiar with the language to be able to apply colloquialism and phrases that go deeper into the meaning than just the words.

What I would suggest doing as you continue to do your translations or other writing is think "How would someone talking in English say this?"
