If you do end up posting the translation, might I recommend something?I'll say this as respectfully as I can. (rant)
If you're not a fellow translator, you can't possibly know how long it takes or how difficult it is to translate a game, especially one that is either complicated or text-lengthy. And given this one is both, you'd understand that it takes a toll on you, not just physically, but emotionally. That's exactly why I'm going to add to the drama by explaining why your post frustrated me.

I'll just say exactly what I write in every one of my translation notes' prefaces: I'm just one single ordinary guy with a day job, doing this in my spare time. I don't beg for donations. I'm not a professional. I'm doing this because I believe that I can help this community and hope it inspires others. I'm doing this for free and until now, I don't answer to trolls. I'm a god damn person, not a translation machine and it makes me sick when pathetic, small people treat others like that.
I'll delete this post after I upload my translation, but if a mod is reading this, you can feel free to remove this tangential diatribe as it merely serves to express my inner sorrow. For the rest of you random strangers who are reading this, I truly apologize and hope you can believe that I'll upload when I can; I'm doing this for you. Thanks for your patience.
Instead of posting it, DM it to all of the people who +1 the translation in the past, and any future accounts that aren't too newly made. This would keep it out of that dude's hands for at least a little bit, feels like the right amount of petty. Or just put a password on it.
Either way, You don't owe anyone here anything. That translation is you're hard work and time. No one here can demand that from you for free, or be bitter about it because you misjudged a date. I personally wouldn't be mad if you decided to never release it, in fact, I encourage it.
