I must admit I don't really understand the question and especially the answer that it would give me a break from translation. How exactly would I be taking a break from translation by translating?

There used to be some EXTREMELY well-translated films between the 70s and 90s, but today I pretty much end up sitting on the couch boiling with anger over all the mistranslations I HEAR.
