Key Takeaway
I don't like science stuff, but I had to read a scientific article today.
I was able to translate it from English into Japanese relying on my English-Japanese dictionary.
However, there was one sentence that I was not able to translate smoothly.
After spending about 2 hours at least seeking for a right wording with the English-Japanese dictionary, it came to me that I should've looked in an English-English dictionary. Then, the minute I looked it up into the OALD, I found the answer.
The key takeaway
Look in the English-English dictionary first before wasting your time.
I was able to translate it from English into Japanese relying onwith my English-Japanese dictionary.
"relying on" is fine, but I think this sounds more natural.

Again, yours is fine. I just think this is a bit more natural.
After spending about least 2 hours at least seelooking for athe right wording with the English-Japanese dictionary, it cameoccurred to me that I should've been lookeding in an English-English dictionary.

The key takeaway: Look in the English-English dictionary first before wasting your time.

It's a testament to how good your language skills are when you don't have to translate into your native language. Good work!
