Hetalia Fantasia 3 translation

First of all, this is my first post on the main comm so correct me if I'm using the tags wrong or something.

I've been wondering: When will someone finish translating Hetalia Fantasia 3? I checked just now and saw that the last time someone translated some tracks for it was December last year, which I personally, and excuse me if I sound demanding, think is FAR too long. I would assume the translator has left the comm or something, but he translated from Volume five, so I'm just going to assume he simply forgot about Hetalia Fantasia.

So to put it shortly, is there anyone out there who can finish translating it? I really want to find out what happens.

Translating is a really demanding thing to do, especially if you want to do it well, so maybe the person doing it lost interest or just hasn't had the time to sit down and concentrate on it. Considering that this is something that someone does in their free time and that we're paying neither for the translation nor the original product, I don't think we have any reason to complain.

I had asked the original translator about that final track, but he never got back to me. I believe he's still attending school, so I'm sure he's tied up with more important things.

Anyway, yeah, that does sound demanding. ;w; This is the first fandom I've been in that even has bothered to translate drama CDs, so I feel lucky for the bit we do get.

I'd also like to see someone finish translating that CD, as well as the rest of the Nordic character CD. There's just a lot to go through and we only have a handful of translators. So I hope sometime they're able to get to those things~!

I think it's okay to ask as long as it's not asked in a demanding way. :3 Often it's just hard to keep track of what still needs translating.

Anyway, I chat with a couple of the translators, so I'll try to bring up that the last track still needs translating if they have any time to get to it.

No worries~
