The long and short is that translation involves a lot of personal touches. Two people can translate the same passage, and come up with a different line based on their level of ability and personal opinion on the best way to convey the intention.

Of course, we also need to consider that folks doing translations can have wildly different levels of ability. Our main admin, Old McDonald, seems to be regarded by other translators as someone with a high level of ability. He also sometimes checks with native speakers for confirmation.

When in doubt, wait a week or so after the chapter comes out. By then, raws are widely available to the fandom. Then check with people to see if some details have changed.
