I would say the entire functionality that you propose could be implemented
and tested in ~3 weeks, also in a cross-browser manner. Mouseover
translation is trivial. Whole document translation is not trivial, but also
not that hard. But that's speaking as someone who has implemented this
exact DOM manipulation in multiple languages.

Still, I think this is a worthwhile project.

Since I am quite sure you'll be done before time, I propose a stretch goal
of inline gisting, which is like mouseover translation but with context.
It's essentially a combination of full document translation, but retaining
the original language text and giving the translation on hover/touch. This
is not trivial, as it would require alignment of input with output - which
is something last year's GSoC made possible, but nobody has used yet.
