Yes, we are technically using an aggregator that compiles multiple translations.

However, in my case I'm actually CHECKING THE KANJI MYSELF and looking things up as I go along. Both to learn...and to ensure accuracy. I've been told that I'm more accurate than some people certified in japanese by a native speaker because of this.

That being said...when I get stuck I  do  consult with said native speaker...or even with a couple of friends I know that have certifications in the language. I don't just "wing it" like I've seen some people do.

I don't think White relies solely on the actual translations, either...but I can't say for sure. Same with Mistelone. I'm pretty sure they use JParser to pull the actual meanings out of the kanji (it's part of the aggregator, heh) and then form the sentences from there (though they also use the other translations too, I'm sure).

We're  not  "mainly mass editing and proofreading", though. Myself, White and Mistelone (I think Akioni, as well) are basically translating the days from scratch...or at the  very least  checking the existing translations (unless they're awful, heh). The program doesn't exactly form proper sentences a lot of the time...and quite often (at least with THIS work) you can't really make sense of the sentences in any way and you have to "fall back" onto JParser and form t hem yourself by looking at what things mean.
