It's actually a pretty clever idea started by Luis von Anh, that was later purchased by Google to digitized their books. His latest project, which stems from the same idea is Duolingo, a website that teaches people language. Once you get into the higher levels, your answers are used to by Google translate to help better translate documents.

It's another pretty neat idea: http://duolingo.com/

You can give boobs mistranslations a shot, but I'm pretty sure it won't work unless you can convince hundreds of other people to give the same mistranslations...
