The autotranslation seems to work well when enough words are provided. Using single words in chat tends to result in the translator choosing the wrong language for translation. Example; German words for when, where, how, and etc (wann, wo, wie) are incorrectly translated when the only word typed in chat. When used in context they are correctly translated.
