Decide what the idiom means in your native language - that is, what is its literal meaning.
If you know an English idiom that has the same meaning, use it. If not, express the same idea in ordinary English.

Thanks Raymott, It's a good solution.

That's a good way of handling things- translating idioms literally and then giving an explanation can work, but there's always a risk of making things confusing for the reader.
