If you had 50 people translating 24/7 with a typed translation taking 30 minutes per page it would take 1,000,000 days or 2740 years to translate all of the material.

This reminds me of the old philosophical question:

"If you had a million congressmen at a million typewriters, each one churning out a page of law per minute, how long would it be before you found a page that made sense?"
