partial / older only. An English translation exists but is partial or older than the critical edition. The gap is a modern, complete translation from the original. A rendering of a daughter version does not count here: it is recorded on the dossier of the text it actually translates.
Why this is in the register
Beta Masaheft records one translation and no separate edition: Sylvain Grébaut, 'Un recueil ancien de Mawaseʾet', Aethiops 4 (1931) 1-6 - a French study-and-translation of an old recension (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BetaMasaheft/Works/master/1001-2000/LIT1990Mawase.xml). No English entry in the record; no English translation located in HOLLIS Primo (searches for 'Me'eraf', the companion chant book, return only Velat's French volumes: https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Me%27eraf%20Ethiopian%20office&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0
Grébaut's six-page article cannot be a full translation of the antiphonary; it is a notice of one old recension, so even the French coverage is partial, and no translation of the standard Mawāśəʾt in any western language was located. Velat's 'Le mawāšeʾet et les livres de chant liturgique éthiopien' (Mémorial du cinquantenaire, Paris 1964, 159-170) is a short survey of the chant books and is not recorded as a translation.

Scan search: open scan — 5 candidate(s). 43 Beta maṣāḥǝft manuscripts carry an msItem citing LIT1990Mawase, about a dozen of them EMIP codices with open IIIF — so this work is the best-covered target in this chunk. Vat.et.10 and Vat.et.15 are digitised but BAV-restricted; Vat.et.4 is not digitised at all. Grébaut's 1931 edition ('Un recueil ancien de Mawaseʾet', Aethiops 4: 1–6) is not on Internet Archive (no item for the journal Aethiops; searches for 'mawase' return only unrelated material). The Ethiopic text layers of the EMIP facsimiles are OCR noise: tesseract 5.3.4 'amh' produced 4,975 non-space characters of which 3,200 were Ethiopic (ratio 0.643) with a 0.001 lexicon on a mid-range page, so any use of this scan needs a Geʿez HTR model, not tesseract.
