They've other plenty of Light Novels to deal with so the translation for Overlord is going to be delay a little longer. Let alone 4 months each as you say, it might actually take a little longer than expected to just get the translating properly ready and going. Furthermore, the thing is that they will usually stop the translation from lasting those times if it isn't making a lot of good sales for them to continue doing so.
