  No, you don't need a translator tool to learn other language. Certainly not one that automatically translates everything you copy. Once you know the basics (which a translator won't teach you) the most effective way to become proficient is practice, which is the opposite of relying on a tool to translate things for you.

  I cannot comment on how useful these tools are or not since I started using computers in English (there were no translations to my language back then) without any such tool or without knowing any English. I had the of speaking another Germanic language but I would say if you know some basic you can use computers without any tool assistance and learn English quickly.
