^
I think the previous version, "afraid I should be late" was not a translation error, but Victorian English.

Yes, I was applying corrections/suggestions collected from the WWWJDIC submissions.

OK. how about I add the old version as an alternative translation (which won't come up in WWWJDIC) with the note that it's old fashioned?

Go for it.
