I've asked three people I know who are near school age (upper end): (11:11:48) [email protected]: It depends. If you work on it as your primary task and use some of the pre-existing information, I think you could get it done in a few hours during an afternoon. Otherwise, I think it would take possibly much longer.
(11:14:52) Emma: It's hard to estimate, maybe like an hour? == I just tried it and it took me 45 minutes (see bg-el in the incubator). So, for a student, if we perhaps times that by 10 or 20, which would give: 7.5 -- 15 hours (although Jim says this is condescending and suggests 5 giving around 4 hours). That did not include translating anything, so I think we can easily double it if we want them to translate it. How about having them translate one section of it ? There are ten sections.
