Hi Harald,

Interesting.  Our translation quality does change from time to time as
we update our system.  But when we do updates we do perform a number
of evaluations to give us confidence that we're strictly improving
quality.  However it is quite possible for some phrases we may
actually see translations get worse.

I'm hoping overall you notice the system has gotten better, as given
our evaluations, we expect it has.  However, please do let us know if
you notice any patterns of bad translations that may indicate some
sort of bug that we should look more closely at.

Thanks,
Josh Estelle
