I usually read manga, and use yomichan and manga_ocr. Initially I'll try to read the sentence by itself to see if I understand it. If I don't, I'll take a screenshot of the sentence so manga_ocr parses the text, and then I'll paste it somewhere in my browser and use yomichan to check unknown vocabulary. I've already done Genki I and II so I almost never have to look up grammar. When I do find grammar I don't understand, a quick Google search, or just referring back to Tae Kim or Genki, will do. I never translate the full sentence, I just check the meaning of unknown words and try to understand the sentence in Japanese.
I don't have much to add regarding reading, as I am a beginner myself. But for translation, also do try ChatGPT (https://chat.openai.com/). You can ask it to translate AND break down word by word.
