I've done something kind of like that. Sometimes I'll take a language
that isn't very far developed yet and choose a text to translate like
this, knowing I'll have to extend the language quite a bit to make it
work. I'll usually choose a text that would require some useful
constructions, so that I'll end up with grammatical rules that are
useful in the long term.
