Is actively translating bad for learning?

What I mean by that is, translating a foreign language that you're learning into your native language while you're learning (or vice versa).

Because I am learning Spanish, and sometimes find myself thinking the words in English, then translating them to Spanish in my head. Is this a bad habit if I want to become completely fluent?
