One thing that occurs to me is to have the form check the edit distance between the output and the suggestion and if they're too far apart notify the user, because it seems rather unlikely that the translator would get every single word wrong. That might cut down on useless results a little bit (though a decent number of people would probably just hit the "yes, I mean it" button regardless).
