Yeah, 4 of the stories from the anime are in Volume 2. Episode 5 and 6 are in Volume 8 (and the beginning part, where they're arguing about killing the NPCs or not with the boss isn't even from the main novels, so we likely won't be getting a translation there..)

And yeah, most people here can't read Japanese, though we can use fan-translations to compare some things, such as content changes (which from my look through the book isn't very much.) So far I've noticed about 2-3 naming mistakes (SAO's name system uses latin characters, so there are characters who should have official intended names) For instance, the Anime says ゴドフリー is supposed to be "Godfree," but the novel says "Godfrey". Similarly, the novel named the leader of that Army group as "Corvatz", even though the author already said it's "Kobatz".
