English --> Spanish --> English was the first thing I tested. It was definitely more readable; too readable, really, since it was mostly unchanged after the EN-->ES-->EN test. Bots seem to be pretty good at translating between similar languages, so the text ends up being so similar that it's essentially a duplicate.
Would imagine EN-->German-->EN would hit a similar issue. Maybe looping through a ton of European languages (e.g., EN-->French-->German-->Spanish-->Italian-->Greek-->Etc-->Etc-->Etc-->English) would give you a good change while being more grammatically coherent than translating into vastly different languages like Arabic/Asian languages. Might try that out.
Maybe try to group languages?
I.e. English is a West Germanic language, so is Dutch and German. The nearest neighbors are the North Germanic languages like Danish, Nordic, Icelandic, and Swedish.
Stepping through translations in this order might render a (more) comprehensible but unique text?
