Ha ha, sorry! Wednesday updates are always going to be super late, and Thursday updates are probably going to be earlier in the day. That's just how my weekly schedule works out. Friday updates are going to be in the evening, but probably not super late. Saturday updates could be any time.

It's the difference between Translation and Localization, isn't it? Translation is fairly straightforward; Google can do it. But localization is harder. You need to make it sound like someone in your language would say it. You need to adjust colloquialism and aphorisms and stuff like that. Turns of phrase.

Trying to get the cadence of the lyrics to match, while being constructed out of completely different syllables... that's tough! I can't imagine you can do it well without having there be some trade-offs.
