I used it for my sole access to the OpenXP (Crosspoint) group  
which is primarily in German.

The main developer writes to me in English, but the rest of  
guys write in German between themselves.

The auto-translate seemed work very well and made the visit  
feel seemless.

I suppose you wouldn't notice the difference very much with  
their webby interface on mobile. But on the desktop it was  
noticeably different. The Classic made more efficient use of  
the screen.  The new one is blocky and clearly looks like they  
think everyone owns a smartphone/tablet.

But the main translate feature is gone. :(
