Normally we would, but this situation isn't as black and white. There are literally thousands of translations here and the translator gave the wikia explicit permission before, so it's unfair to ask for them to be taken down out of the blue like that. More importantly, SO many people depend on these translations. Weren't they done for this purpose? So that people who don't speak the language can gain a better appreciation and understanding for the songs? The translator surely has no need for them.

Besides, even if they are taken down, they can still be viewed in the history. What's the point of removing all of them when they're going to be up there anyway? The active wikia staff only consist of a handful of people and they are busy taking care of other things. Also, there are already reuploads and reposts floating around. Rather than that, isn't it reasonable to keep them all in one place here?

That being said, if you find a suitable replacement, we'll be happy to take it down. Or you could request any of the active recommended translators for a translation (I think Releska's request periods are open now.) I hope you understand where I'm coming from.
