Wouldn't this then make it almost trivial for Google or the NSA to find you with textual analysis by matching what is pasted in translate with any other writing sample you've done? So the OP isn't really concerned about anonymity from Google or NSA at all... amiright?

I don't think identifying someone via textual analysis of a few hundred words is "almost trivial". In fact it seems really, really difficult...suppose your were the NSA and had obtained this sample from Google. Where would you start?
I'd ask Google what the IP address was that accessed the analytic page
