Before revision:  The quality of the backward system - which is trained on the available parallel data and used for the back-translation - has been shown in many studies to affect the performance of the final NMT model. In low resource conditions, the available parallel data is usually not enough to train a backward model that can produce the qualitative synthetic data needed to train a standard translation model .
After revision:  The quality of the backward system - which is trained on the available parallel data and used for the back-translation approach to improve the forward (target) translation model. Whereas the success of the approach heavily relies on the additional parallel data generating model -- the backward model -- the aim of the approach is only targeted at improving the forward model. The back-translation approach was designed primarily to benefit from an additional data whose source-side is synthetic. But research works have shown that translation models can also benefit from additional data whose target-side is synthetic .
