How long did it take before you stopped translating everything in your head?

Still very much in the "mentally translate every sentence before I say it" phase and it is exhausting. For those who've gotten past this — was there a clear turning point, or did it just fade gradually without you noticing?

Does it happen at different speeds for different topics — like small talk flipping long before anything technical or work-related?

Fatima — yes exactly that in my case. Casual chat flipped first, anything work-related took much longer and honestly still occasionally trips me up.
