Instant Translation example app - no output

Running the Instant Translation example on several different Windows platforms,
using both Internet Explorer and Firefox with JavaScript enabled, I do not get
output of translation into target language. I've had no output from Instant
Translation either online or after deploying the Orbeon Forms 3.7.1 WAR from
Apache Tomcat 6.0.20. The same problem occurs in the Google Suggest example.

Google Translate has recently undergone changes in functionality (can toggle
instant translation on/off) and appearance (result is in a large font and not
in a visibly defined text area). Could this be the source of problem?

I notice that Google Translate default URL is now http://translate.google.com/#
instead of http://translate.google.com/translate_t?. I changed the
translate.xpl file from http://translate.google.com/translate_t?text= to
http://translate.google.com/#= but that did not help.

Also, after Google Translate displays the translation result, the URL changes
to e.g.,
http://translate.google.com/#en|fr|Where%20is%20the%20church%20in%20this%20%20village%3F

Please advise if these demos are working for you and other users. Thanks in
advance for your help.

Good catch. Indeed the API changed. Unfortunately their new API
returns JSON instead of XML, which is harder to parse on the
server-side. For now, I implemented something which is not terribly
robust, but that seems to do the job. You'll get this change in the
next build. Thanks for reporting this!

For reference, the bug is:
