Not possible for it's sheer size. Other translations took at least 1-2 years, 3-5 years tops.
That's because they stall and/or lose members. Some even just have 1 tl at the end. Every project has different circumnstances so you can't compare them so easily. They may not finish by then but at the current rate they'll be quite far into it by then.

Exactly. Plus, the pacing is always different for every team. Some people work faster than others. Some people are busier with life than others. It's all different.
Though, this team is working pretty fast, so let's hope for the best!

Because it usually never happens. I've been observing many translation projects and even the fastest took more than a Year. But completion in less than a year, for me is just unbelievable.

I'm not saying that I don't like it, and it's actually great if they can actually finish it under a year. My mind just can't comprehend the speed.

It's like riding a Bullet train/Concorde/something fast for the first time.
I'm honestly happy if they can prove me that I'm wrong

And there's a certain depression, I just hope they don't stop Translating after Steins;Gate.

What is exactly disgusting here? The fact he's a guy or the fact you're being condescending and/or homophobic about the fact? I think there's different reasons to hate on the pairing other than him being a trap.

Delicious trap is delicious? I meant Ruka has always concealed his feeling in all the other worldlines where he's a guy. I have absolutely no idea how can they go so far in the Delta, really, Okabe accepted Ruka even he's a guy? Perhaps it's the choice of Steins Gate. El Psy Congari.

It's a fan disc. It caters to the whim of the fans. Fans (like myself) enjoy that sort of thing. You're right, it doesn't really make sense, but then Moeka x Okabe makes even less sense.

Why not Moeka? In Delta she's just a normal shy girl. No more SERN n Rounder bullshits. They can even be a better couple in Gamma - the coldblooded tyrant with his sidekick lover.

The main problem that still bugs me is They're not transparent and they don't have any progress report

How can I believe from just "Hey we finished chapter 8 and 9".

It's like the recent Rance 8, Someone mentioned they've finished translating it, it turns out most of it was translated with a TLmachine.

C'mon, I need some believable statistics.

Good news, everyone :

http://vn.shourai.net/news/weve-reached-the-achievement-point-but-theres-a-flaw.html#comment-893

They have FINISHED the translating works. Only editing, proofread, image editing etc was left :o
I even have my jaw dropped, seriously. That was too fast.

And for kaimax, actually they are pretty transparent if you seek more. You can even download the finished script here :

Honestly they've should been "transparent" to all. Since there are some people that thinks that "believing is seeing", and I was pretty traumatic and sensitive with these kind of things because of "the Fake To heart 2 translations". Now it has a "real" translating group though. And there's also the "Flyable Heart" Fiasco, the Rance Quest Machine translations, Added by the trend that TL projects usually takes more than a year. It's hard to put any kind of trust. and I don't frequent 4Chan to makes things worse.

If you noticed, in another site I'm pretty serious about VN translations and is now a moderator for the VN discussion section. I really wanted to go all out and inform everybody in every forums that I commute about the news, But I don't have any proper info to spread.

I'm going to reinstall steins;gate and test it ASAP.

Hmmm...I was ecstatic when I first heard about this translation being finished. But, the more I think about it the more it sounds to good to be true. I may just stick with the anime for now after all.

The translation is finished but there's still editing and such to be done. I checked an incomplete release (no editing and CG's unstranslated) and it looked pretty decent although with some mistakes, as with any translation. At the very least it didn't give the impression of being a farse (auto-translator) or a rushed job.

I think I mentioned several times that most groups take too long because they lose their motivation halfway (not really unexpected seeing the bigger workload in comparison to an anime). But you notice that they can actually put a major amount of work in shorts amounts of time. If they have more than 1 translator and push through without losing their motivation it's really not that impossible. Is it uncommon? Yes. Impossible? No.

Just like what Leon-Gun said. It's a good thing Steins;Gate is a very popular VN so the motivation to finish it was constantly there. When I was working on it, we were going through it very fast since we had about 3 translators and a couple editors around the clock.

The translations were actually the easy part. It was the actual implentation of the subbings and stuff that was hard.

That's good to hear, but I guess I'll still wait on the editing and such and just watch the anime for now. So far, up to episode 7, the series has been VERY good so far and seems to be getting better by the episode. Can't wait to play the source material.

Given the popularity of the anime series and peoples newfound interest in the original, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw the spin-off ported as well in the near future.

I would, there's several typos and mistakes here and there and the current editing being done should translate all the text in images (like the text at the start of the game). Plus, some people say that the current incomplete patch just breaks after chapter 2 or something (unconfirmed).

Actually, there is already a patch on erogedownloads for the opening scenes and other images. That said, I've heard as well about this error in chapter 2. Which is good enough reason for me to wait, personally.
