There's a great paper that investigated this technique: https://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/~sa499/papers/adversarial_styl...

From the conclusions: "Translation with widely available machine translation services does not appear to be a viable mode of circumvention. Our evaluation did not demonstrate sufficient anonymization and the translated document has, at best, questionable grammar and quality."

Has there been any other work on anti-fingerprinting? Seems like just taking the fingerprinting algorithms and applying transforms that randomize the features they look for would go a long way.
