Does this result imply that if we had a LLM trained on a very large volume of only English data, and one trained only on a very large volume of data in another language, your technique could be used to translate between the two languages? Pretty cool. If we somehow came across a huge volume of text in an alien language, your technique could potentially translate their language into ours (although maybe the same could be achieved just by training a single LLM on both languages?).

Intuitively I assume this would work even better.
