Can you "translate" from one language to the same language?

Can you "translate" from one language to the same language?Content
Greetings!
Here is what I am attempting to do:
We have some "legalese" (terms & conditions in one document, something else in another) that sometimes gets updated and changed. For one of these documents we have translations (via .xlf files) into 12 languages.
Currently whenever we have to update the "legalese" in the main language (U.S. English) on our main .rtf template (or in an .rtf subtemplate), we have to update all 12 .xlf files so that the <source> text matches the newly updated en-US text so that the <target> translation text gets displayed/printed. Not terribly bad for the one document, but we keep adding different documents, each with multiple translations, and the number of languages could grow. So over time this will get unwieldy.
