Questions about apostille and translation in USA, for visa application to Spain

Still trying to understand the apostille - translate - apply process. Do I have this right ?

1. If a document is an official US government document (birth certificate, marriage license, FBI background check, etc), it must be apostilled. Then:

2. All English-language documents, apostilled or not, must be translated and certified by a Certified Translator. Then:

3. Originals and photocopies of the Spanish-language documents are submitted along with the application form.

4. You keep the English-language originals (birth cert, marriage license, apostilled FBI background check, doctor's letter, medical insurance letter, etc); don't submit them.

5. Probably a good idea to take everything, and more, with you to the consulate appointment, just in case. English-language versions of documents, birth certificate even though you have passport, etc. Just in case.

Is that right ?

Thanks.
