The fact we are "that many" doesn't mean only few of us are busy. It is basically a general trend (and I think we have to update the staff list as well, especially that we also list contributors that aren't working all the time with us (providing their part whenever they can so to speak).

It will take one hell of a push, but I'm hoping to get the rough translation finished by the end of this month. The editing might push the release back up to two weeks or so after that, of course. And we're not making any guarantees yet.

How much Japanese do editors need to know? It was my understanding talking to you about it once that the translators are fluent but the editors are partial-speakers to be able to compare the translation to the original, in addition to standard typographical spot-checking and coherency.

Things can get bogged down with too many editors, so if someone has no Japanese knowledge at all, this probably isn't the job for them at the moment.

So if progress is going along at that rate, why is the status bar on the Witch Hunt news page still at 0% for Translation and Editing?
Did you just decide that feature was more trouble than it was worth? |

A bit like before, we often feel like "well, we are going to have another burst, so perhaps we should wait before updating".
And doing so repeatedly just often leaves us with a stalled number (and if you add our IRL matters etc, you can say we sometimes completely forget about the status %).

The distinction is somewhat arbitrary. Some chapters are very long, some very short. Ep5 has roughly 15 chapters, a Tea Party, and a very long ???? segment. Ep4 had more, ep6 I think has more but shorter Tea Parties. Ep7 has a lot of segment breaks that I'm not sure are chapter breaks (I'd have to see the code), but could be. I would say it's a relative thing.
