== Sword Art Translation Cancellation Question ==
With Yen Press taking the license for the light novels, does that cover the entire light novel series, including the Progressive series? From the article on ANN, it seems like it is just the main numbered series. It will also, unfortunately take most likely around 4 years to catch up to the Japanese release of the final Volume so far, Alicization Dividing, I think it was, even though one chapter seems to already be done. At least since it isn't being abandoned until release of Volume 1, there are a few more months to hope for a translation to finish before the long wait, unless Yen Press actually translates them quickly and finishes within half that time.-- Anonymous 23:47, 25 August 2013 (CDT)

Does the license include the web-versions too? --[[User:Darklor|Darklor]] ([[User talk:Darklor|talk]]) 02:11, 26 August 2013 (CDT)

The web versions are NOT covered. This is for the Light Novels. The web versions are/were available for free on the author's website until they were published, last I knew. -- Anonymous 11:07, 26 August 2013 (CDT)

Will the side stories also be taken down?--[[User:Vu.P|Vu.P]] ([[User  talk:Vu.P|talk]]) 11:52, 26 August 2013 (CDT)

Will SAO Vol. 13 be Translated before you Abandon the Projekt ? [Anonymous 15:55, 6 September 2013 (UTC + 1)]

Will the currently translated volumes be taken down after Yen Press releases the first vol?? [Anonymous 17:54, 25 September 2013 (GMT +8)]

The licenses clearly mark the content or part of as illegal. With how you're approaching this, you seem fine with trampling whatever due rights and respect Yen Press deserve for trying to make these content legal. 
'crime's totally fine, I'll drag this as long as I can till I get caught. '

Due to Volume 1 not being released until April next year, will you be translating Volume 13+ still or will you still stop? [Anonymous 17.15, 20/10/2013 (GMT +9.5)]

It won't be here, I can guarantee you that. --[[User:Teh Ping|Teh Ping]] ([[User talk:Teh Ping|talk]]) 22:09, 21 February 2014 (CST)

I noticed you have done some of Sword Art Online's volumes. but they are not uploaded. May I know why?

They're removed.--[[User:Teh Ping|Teh Ping]] ([[User talk:Teh Ping|talk]]) 22:09, 21 February 2014 (CST)

Just want to ask, so far, Yen press only confirmed SAO vol 1 and 2, the Aincrad arc, right ?
The vol 1 will be on April and vol 2 on August 2014, so how come vol 3 up to 13 were taken down already ? Is it already considered illegal ?
Not to mention vol 7 remained somehow...
What I'm trying to say here is that vol 3 and the rest are not likely to be published until 2015 onwards. Of course, when they are released, I will be glad to buy them, to support Kawahara Reki, the writer. But for the meantime, if the fan-translations are taken down, just how can we read it in English ?

Yeah, I'm curious about wether we can still read it online somewhere or not. And to tell the truth, I pray for the former haha

"The Sword Art Online Progressive Series and Side Stories will be reinstated", it's been two months since the notice, will they be continued or put back up?

Hello, now that the SAO Progressive project has been abandonned on Baka-Tsuki, where can I find the novel translated? Ty. 12/01/2015

Yen Press has licensed the novel, and it will be available for purchase in March 2015.
