Yeah, I have to agree with anon. It's an issue of how we've been treating bad translations and bad translators. That is the main problem. The fact is that nobody has done anything about the accuracy of the translations before because they are good enough to get right most of the plot details, it just does nothing for the quality of the actual articles.

Translating the whole series--books and manga and all--would be nice, but it would be not only extremely costly but it would likely take a long time to complete. Not to mention that if we get a professional translator, I'd want them to be willing to work closely with us so that we know what they're doing and what kind of decisions they're making with the series.

Like yeah, it'd be nice to have everything fully translated but that seems more about what would be good for the fandom than the wiki, which is a separate issue. (That said, someone on Tumblr told me they have a professional translator buddy who expressed interest once or twice, and I wouldn't object to someone pursuing it.)
