Having the manga licensed in english, doesn't mean anything for the japanese animation company. They are plenty of manga that are licensed in english and didn't see an anime. But the manga is already successful and the anime is kinda sure thing. But it's unlikely it will be soon. Unless they want to make 13 or 26 ep anime, they will wait for at least 120 chapters before announce it. It will also depend on what Kondasha wants too, long running like for FT, or short. I'm pretty sure they will prefer the longer one, so even if they currently receive proposals for turning it into an anime, they will probably decline them until they feel the moments is right (and for longer running anime it's when it have at least 120-150 chapters).

Natsu: I guess you meant volumes, not chapters. Otherwise, yeah around the end of 2014, there will be 5 in english and ~10 in japanese. Around the end of 2015, there will be 11-12 in english and ~15 in japanese. If the volumes sell pretty well, there is a possibility they will speed the releases and do 1 volume per month (like for Attack on Titan).
