I just took the paragraph from above. I put it through google translate 
from English to Croatian. Copy and Paste from the right panel to the 
left panel and back to English. The result is the same. Insignifiant 
differences. See below. Or I don't know. I was expecting a more dramatic 
change. And it loses readability. Add to that the fact that google would 
store for an indefinite time all these versions.

I've heard people use eg Google translate to let him do it
translation [original lang] -> [other lang] and back ->
[original lang]. But sources - although it would be interesting to try 
and let
Anonymouth or any other tools the authorship of such pieces
Text (input excerpts from original texts issued by more people ->
double-google-translate one of them -> see if it was still detectable by
any of these tools.)
