Basically it is a verbose substitution, with spaces re-arranged. This allows to decrease the entropy and generate the word patterns. The resulting text is longer than the Italian source by a factor between 1.5 and 2 - I did not check.
W.r.t. Emma's question, one could think of an array of indicators, based on similarity of:
- entropy
- word length distribution
- word frequency distribution (a.k.a. Zipf's law).
- others
Donald's text would have a problem only with the third one.
These bullets, however, do not give any clue whether the generated text would be 'meaningful'.
To do that, more thought is needed.
