What's funny is I typed Hyaku into the translator and got Hundred, and Viz is using 100 in their name. Because they're an official distributor of the series it's already possible that they receive their material pre-translated, as is true for dubbed series. The only way to know for sure is to get a much better scan than the one that has been going around to see if a tiny mark that is the size of a speck is even in the typing, because the only one I saw is crappy and partially illegible. A teeny pixel-sized speck is what people are arguing about.
Mechanical translation is useful if you consider it a tool. Mathematician Philipp Koehn says that current translation models start translations by interpreting chunks of commonly-used phrases. A person could start from there and then finish the rest of the translation with their own research. A benefit that he personally cited is that this process keeps people from being lazy (haha). I think that the problem that happened, with 豪 being translated into Australian by Google, is that 白豪 (pronounced in this usage as "hakugo") means White Australia. It's a term for an immigration policy in Australia that discriminates against colored people. Yeah, a person who is Japanese, Chinese, Indonesian, or African would have a harder time gaining citizenship in Australia than perhaps somebody who is from the UK. So it sounds like it would be a pretty common topic that people would be discussing and using for Google to be relying on it.
Anyways, Google translate is not handling the translation of "Byakugō no In" well but if the model has to rely on common phrases, and this is a fantasy series with creative jutsus/spells, it's not a surprise. Here is the wiktionary page on the kanji 白:

reading of 白 is びゃく or "byaku." There is no reading of it listed that sounds like ひゃく or "hyaku." (See the tiny speck that is the difference in spelling?).

the onlything I know is this, Sakura hasn't release the seal so right now she's just using her normal chakra, if she releases the seal she will heal herself full. If Im' correct she can't use the last upgrade of said Seal that is the one that covers the full body and that stays in place for a while making any damage sustained heal immediately, since Tsunade stated that she is the onlyone that has master this, reminds me of Magic and when you use regenerate on a monster.
