Personally I think masa's translations are the best. Especially since I've started learning Japanese myself and I've noticed that wataru doesn't always follow the Japanese grammar properly.
But yeah, translating J-EN is hard 'cause the structures are like totally opposite >.> Sometimes you have to pick between a very literal translation or a more fluent, but less literal one.
