Translated trial was released July 30th, 2008, no idea when that translation started. After that, the translators didn't do anything for six full months, and then started translating again. By November 4th, 2009, they'd translated Rin1 and common route (~52%). April 24th, 2010 the Kurugaya patch was released. Then, it took until October 21st, 2010 to translate Komari route. Mio route came in on December 17th, followed by Haruka and Kud routes on May 13th, 2011. Refrain is currently still in translation.
The entire process consisted of alternating periods of nothing being done and consistent progress. All in all, the translation could've been faster if the translators were more active (not blaming them, it's quite awesome they're doing it in the first place - just pointing out that the time it took was because of the lack of activity, and a more active team could translate the same amount of text faster).
