Years is obviously not good, but I do think we should be wary of wanting it to be as quick as possible if we don’t want publishers to resort to machine translation (also known as A.I.).

I’m personally not too bothered by what you’re describing. They can’t always pick up everything when it gets published, so it makes sense to be behind. I’d pirate it at first too (for manga anyway), but once it comes out I buy it and reread it.
