I think languages are very different in a lot of subtle things, so I wouldn't trust a third party to translate my thoughts, the way I write, and my subtle hints and intentions into another language I know well.

I'd really try hard to translate it myself as to not lose any of those traits upon doing it.

If it's a language you don't really know well, you'd have no choice though.
