Possibility to make translator software better?
I wanted to ask this question a long-long time ago, but I keep pending it because my question sounds so stupid.
Well, I actually want to ask the possibility to make translator software better. So far, most of translator softwares are based on english input. Most of translator softwares dont have much trouble when it translates romance language like french, german, spanish, portugese, and italy. But it tells different story if we want to translate english into non romance language such as chinese, japanese, and korean or vice verca. usually the translation is bizarre and confusing.
So I'm thinking the idea of step by step translator if it's might be possible. As we know, language has its own branch and probably by doing translation step by step to another language which is close to the targeted language before going to the targeted language itself, we might get more accurate result.
maybe to illustrate my idea:
English -> japanese (the usual translation software)
English -> language a -> language b -> language c -> japanese (step by step translation, the point is to translate english into another language which have traits of similarities to japanese before it's translated to japanese)
but I dunno, is this a good or bad idea? is it even possible? If you are expert in language or in this field, hope you dont mind to share your opinion about this.

You all think you got good deals, huh? Ha! You frugal and observant shoppers have more to learn.
None of that approaches this:
