Hoi, Two days is a reasonable amount of time for someone who knows what he is doing to do a complete MediaWiki localisation. Experience suggests that when the terminology is not readily available, it can take a week. A week as in amount of time spend on the job not as in within a week it is ready.
The problem is that even once localised, we have a confusing and complex interface program and markup language to teach them! It's not simply a matter of getting all the labels right - the user interface is a pretty sharp learning curve to the uninitiated or the technologically inexperienced.
Language localisation is a necessary precondition, but it's not the magic bulled.
