Use of Google translated content in smaller languages

Hello there!

I work with linkbuilding across a lot of languages - Several of them smaller European languages such as Danish and Swedish.

So my question is:
Do you see any risks in taking, say, a Danish text we have already used for linkbuilding, translate it into Swedish - using Google Translate - and then posting the new, translated text on a Swedish website... And link back from the translated text to our Swedish website.

I was wondering if this is something Google would detect (... As we are using their own translating service) and devalue the link?

User experience is not a real concern. As I would only be using these texts on sites with very few readers.

What are your thoughts?

Why not try it and tell us the result instead?

This theory is not new, its ancient old at least more than 10 years when people first mentioned it. If this works, a lot of people will do this today and talk about it, but you seldom see people talk about it, I would guess it won't work well.
