For txt files, the amount to translate equals total size; for var files it's less, but there are 2 files dialog.var and campaign_dialog.var that contain mostly text and are 950K together. So the total amount to translate is around 1.5-2Mb, closer to 2.
For reference, according to this site that amounts to about 750-1000 pages.

To put that in context, Wiki Answers says that Tolkein's Lord of the Rings trilogy is 1008 pages.
