This makes sense. DLSite would probably want to monopolise the English sales if they were translating. So the only way to have it on Steam or elsewhere is to have an outside translator or do it in-house like Remtairy where Sachinama and Rem both work on the game with Japanese and English options respectively. Then sell it on both Steam and DLSite.Well it depends on how much the translation costs. I don't know if they have to pay upfront, or they get a percentage of the sales. Or if it's even a mixture of both. Also, if Dlsite is the ones who translated it and they get a cut of the revenue they may say they aren't allowed to sell the english version on other platforms. Of course this is all speculation.
On a separate note, I like that the devs did simultaneous releases in DLSite for this game (since they chose to separate the JP and EN versions), so people don't accidentally buy the JP version beforehand.
