Hard to believe there is still translating going on this close to release. Doesn't the voice acting have to come after translation?

The translation is done.
Here is an answer from one of our devs (arvisrend) on reddit:

To give a little idea of what's currently slowing down the English translation (I personally am not working on it; my job is fixing quest bugs): There are some dialogue lines whose duration is longer in English than it is in German. (While text usually becomes shorter when translated into English, things like this can happen when the English voice actor speaks more slowly or makes pauses.) Most of the time, this doesn't break things (Skyrim's dialogue system and scenes wait for the lines to end), but sometimes we handle dialogue manually (using the "Say" and "Utility.Wait" script functions), and then we end up with cut-off dialogue or, worse, CTDs because of interleaving "Say"s. So everything needs to be tested and some lines retaken Besides, as someone else said, some things are waiting for the translation (bards' songs, IIRC). Sorry for the wait, but there isn't much we can currently do about it. No, there are no hard blockers that would take months to be resolved.

Very important question: Will there be an english voiced trailer on release?

Is the German version with English subtitles going to be released along with the English version?

Well, just listen to the English Intro which is already available on soudcloud and you should get an impression how great the EV will be. I really felt a shiver runnig down my spine when listening to this.

The Launch trailer? Yeah we are trying to get it done in English as well, if we have some time at our hands. Though we won't hold back the release if it doesn't get ready in time.

So according to some little birds on Reddit the EV is releasing this week. Any truth to that?
