My translation for your reference:

On batch #2 shipping schedule

After several months hardworking, our team needs vacation, and then we will conduct a review, processing and modification of the first batch. Mass production will be done when we get the improved components version. So we may delay the shipping date for batch 2, that is, only a small amount will be shipped between late March and early April, but we plan to fulfill the rest shippment of batch 2 with a quick speed from middle April to the late April.

+1 thank you for the translation!

From the link above, have you ever seen anything else major about avalon lately in the bbs.btcman.com forums?  Their discussions often closely parallel ours here, but I figured their proximity in china might give them slightly different communications or newer information.

He mentioned as below.
从4月中开始至月底我们计划以超高速迅速地完成第二批的发货。

It means they will finish the delivery of batch#2 at an ultra high speed from middle of April to the end of the month.

Interestingly I also wonder why he was talking about Batch 4, whether this was a typo or a mistranslation.  That threw me off considering there's never been any other mention of batch 4 yet.
He is not talking about batch 4...

I'm sure that someone already translated it, it's just that i can't find the post right now. It was the first post of a topic, so maybe surfing among these pages i can find it.
I read it as "batch 2 is small, it will be easy to ship it during that 15 days".

the second batch of orders is only a small amount shipped from mid-April to the end of the month

I may very well be misunderstanding this, but this sentence stood out to me.  I took it to mean that "Only a small amount of orders will ship from mid april to the end of the month."  I have a chinese friend who I'm going to message, but if anyone else can get a native speaker to translate this part (or if you have a link to that translation you mentioned) it would be much appreciated.

It seems like the plan all along was to update modify the hardware and improve on Batch 1, only releasing units very slowly starting on April 15th and then really ramping up speed later in May.  But you know, actually telling us this in more specific terms would've been nice.
A Chinese user did a great translation, and i personally read it as "batch 2 ships very fast from the 15 to the 30 of april". Why do you say that the plan was all along to ship only a few units in april?

Hello, some time later, the Avalon ASIC the first batch of shipments have been coming to the end. , The second batch of delivery of the order is about to begin in a short finishing and summarized. The next stage we will take some time to sum ​​up the first batch of Avalon ASIC production, manufacture, delivery process problems encountered in the manufacturing process of the second batch of minor process improvements and design changes, improve production efficiency. We have been taking delivery of a number of ordering a number of marketing strategies, and this is no exception. Therefore I would like to inform you that the third batch of pre-planned to start around Friday. The scheduled take the form of different places with the first two batches of the same place, a simple list is as follows:

1, in addition to providing RMB bank transfers, artificial recognized option, only accept Bitcoin payment.

2, the price is no longer pegged to the dollar, will perform the the Bitcoin pricing strategy. The price of RMB exchange rate was 360 yuan = 1 bitcoins.

3, the price will be significantly improved. The new price is based on reasonable ROI expected to develop. Depending on configuration, the price in between 88BTC 115BTC, excluding shipping. According to 360 yuan = 1BTC The exchange rate of the RMB price between 31680-41400 yuan, freight surcharge. (Final price is subject to the official website) , the expected delivery time from the end of April to early May. Trade-in customers will give priority to delivery.

[#4 and 5 are missing for some reason]

6, inevitably shipping.

7, delivery order based on the order of payment (rather than under the order of the order), big orders will be shipped after the spin-off.

8, without power supply options, offers two Bitcoin. We will then provide a list of available power. (Advance notice: Cooler, Delta, TT and other "cost-effective" sign did not pass the test) the length of the power supply can not be more than 175mm.

9, 3 module 4 module options. (That is, the typical speed 67GH and 89GH assurance speed 64GH and 85GH),

10, does not support the refund.

The third installment sales are mainly denominated the official net sales mainly if you are interested in under the orders of 50 or more, you can contact me directly. Please look for the official-mail: [email protected] note that here only provides the convenience of ordering large single in all aspects of the delivery order, the price, etc. do not have any incentives. By the way, discuss some things about Avalon ASIC products and wholesale goods.

1, on the issue of after-sales service: we are not yet establish a dedicated sales department. Continue with the shipment, we will soon have someone to deal with domestic repair. For miners, mining machine stops running intolerable things, so its slow response repair service, we believe that the better to provide a complete maintenance guide and product manual, in case of any failure in the machine at the time, most people can to repair and restore operation. The next period of time so we will proceed to establish a comprehensive and open product documentation, and offers a variety of spare parts (such as the controller, cables, modules, etc.).

2, on the issue of machine use: chassis good duct design, so keep the machine horizontally off the chassis, and do not install any additional space in the rear of the fan. The need to maintain the pressure within the chassis to help power cooling. Addition, as much as possible to keep the cool air of the front of the chassis, although we at a temperature of 35 degrees has been tested, but to stay cool, a great advantage for the stable operation of the product. Here in particular we are concerned Hardware Error, which is the intention of the design, chip, while communication, computing does not stop, this design chip gate count can be reduced by about 1%, but there will return some error data possibilities. This proportion in a few thousandths of magnitude, and these Hareware Error will not have any impact on the actual operating efficiency.

3, the time of the second wholesale goods: after the endless hours of work in a few months. Our team needs to leave, and to sum ​​up the first batch of production, processing and improvement, and wait for these improved components produced. So we will delay the beginning of the second batch of shipments time, so in the end of March to early April, the second batch of orders is only a small amount shipped from mid-April to the end of the month, we plan to ultra-high-speed quickly The second installment of delivery.

4
, the first batch of orders not yet received: in our database some customer information wrong (such as address entry is not clear, address garbled phone, PO Box address, etc.), we will give you (not your issuing queries mail to us). If you do not receive the query message but did not get the goods, it could be because it had been in transit or your payment late (for example, in November), the last few orders are being issued in recent days, please be patient.

5, the equipment you buy does not come with any technical support.

This is the google translation, although I'm curious if anyone can provide clarification with a more professional translation.

It seems like the plan all along was to update modify the hardware and improve on Batch 1, only releasing units very slowly starting on April 15th and then really ramping up speed later in May.  But you know, actually telling us this in more specific terms would've been nice.

EDIT: Either that or the "we plan to ultra-high-speed quickly the second installment of delivery" is total BS
