Hi Khushi,

Unless the existing one is both very old and very small, starting
from scratch is a complete waste of time.

The most important thing you can do to improve a translation pair is to add
entries to the dictionaries (monolingual and bilingual). Then, add rules to
improve the output as necessary.
