I know for a fact that one of the early projects to sub that old Rot3K anime (The one with the opening by Fence of Defense) died because the fansubbers got overwhelmed trying to cross-reference the Chinese and Japanese terms. 'cause once you decide to go down that route you have to do it for EVERYTHING, including place names and obscure generals who may or may not have made it into the translation you're reading. They were a solid, experienced team who did a great job on the two or so episodes that got out, but they just couldn't keep it up.
