I just discovered Google Translate one or two days before you changed
the layout and found it to be an excellent translation aid and
reference tool with its side-by-side comparison columns and large
manipulatable text fields.
But, would'nt you know it, as soon as I find something good it seems
to disappear. Please bring back the old side-by-side layout with the
larger text fields at least. Also, in the interest of people
submitting improvements, the "Contribute a better translation field"
is too far down the page to figure out what needs to be improved as
you can't see the original text.
Perhaps this is just a rehash of many similar comments and maybe some
improvements are better, but you had a winner with the original format
which offered much more utility in translation and as a reference
tool.
