Writing in different languages

For example, you write a story and you want to show it to different people, but one of them does not speak the language that you wrote in, but they do speak in the other language you know. What would you do? Put it in the translator and call it a day? Write from scratch in the second language transmitting the same thoughts? Just translate it by yourself?
 
My family are the only non-english speakers I show my writing to. I use translator and then change some words, mainly with the purpose of a more comfortable read. But I don't translate word for word, because it's not the scope either.
