Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely:  propose a novel, language-independent approach for improving machine translation from a resource-poor language to X by adapting a large bi-text for a related resource-rich language and X (the same target language).  assume a small bi-text for the resource-poor language to X pair, which  use to learn word-level and phrase-level paraphrases and cross-lingual morphological variants beten the resource-rich and the resource-poor language;  then adapt the former to get closer to the latter. Our experiments for Indonesian/Malay--English translation show that using the large adapted resource-rich bi-text yields 6.7 BLEU points of improvement over the unadapted one and 2.6 BLEU points over the original small bi-text. Moreover, combining the small bi-text with the adapted bi-text outperforms the corresponding combinations with the unadapted bi-text by 1.5--3 BLEU points.  also demonstrate applicability to other languages and domains.
