That depends... there are a lot of "misses" in every town including the first and second... which are irrelevent for the story progress though
He meant that Nintendo's calling it Floocesy Town in the official english version.
They started the project with only a 3 month window until official English release. I'm sure they'll see the project through to completion.
I'm very doubtful after it took so long just to get 2.3 out there.
I swear the Black/White translation projected headed by Kazowar was much faster than this, just translating the main storyline.
Well, it may not be 100% by the time of official release. I don't see them dropping it altogether though. It does seem to have slowed a lot though. Maybe it was just blazing fast at the start, so it seems slow now that it's at a normal pace. If I remember right, the bulk of b/w1 was done before it released but they still updated even after the official release. I really only play the game to get hacked pkmn and items for friends anyway so the wait isn't a big deal to me.
Glad to see the two translation teams have merged. But as some people know, more manpower ≠ more efficient/faster ...
I see that 45% of the text has been translated, I wonder till where it goes, if it could have been done linearly? As last time I checked I was like, stucked on the 3rd route at the farm, didn't know what to do, and didn't want to bother check a walkthrough.
Anyway, good luck everyone, and good job nonetheless even if the official release is nearing.
Yeah, I should totally get rid of the hex edit method in my sig, it's so obsolete by now lol

Very much faster! They had a ton done in about a month and not until after they'd gotten far enough for people to play did they do the un-necesary stuff. But I'm still thankful for this.
There are lots of reasons. First it was just one team, PP. Which had a lot more experience in translation and made most the tools that are currently in use. Since there was no infighting and no split of contributors (though PS took most of them this time, because they started first), they (or we, as I am from PP) could focus entirely on the project instead of the constantly bickering between projects, of which there was a great deal. By the time we merged most of our more experienced translators and editors wanted nothing to do with PS. Which means a lot of the hard talent we had from the first one wasn't available (we kept ahead for the longest time with, as Kyo himself claimed, 1/100th of the contributors, give you an idea how skilled these people were). We also lacked amazingly skilled main contributor (vgperson) this time around who last time translated the grand majority of the story of B&W.
tl;dr
Basically, there was just a huge lack of very experienced translators, hackers and editors this time around, and the split projects fatally wounded production.
As for the in fighting well, PP feels PS should have asked them to start with (or switched over to just helping) and PS thinks PP was a bit too pompous (far as I understand). In short, both sides figured they could do it better then the other.

It was fun while it lasted and we thank you for your amazing support throughout the process! It was a big thing for us this summer and we hope that we can, in the future, attempt to completely translate another game.

Well that makes this thread completely pointless now.
