see后的宾语从句

Inside the shelter, he latched the door, and looked around to see that his family was squared away. Now it began. The waiting.

see在这句中是检查的意思，译文是检查查看他的家人是否就位。怎么有个选择性是否的意思。是译文错了吗？

to see that从句在此是looked around的目的状语，因此see的语义不可能是“看到”。此处的to see that=to see to it that, 意为“核实..."、”确认“。英文释义为：
to make sure that someone does something or that something happens

译文应为：在防空洞里，他插上门闩，环顾四周以便确认他的家人已经就位。然后他们就开始等待。
