I am assuming that the novel is available in plain text. Why not turn it 
into an org file. Divide it up into units, with each unit being a day's 
worth of translation. Make each unit a separate TODO with either a 
SCHEDULED or DEADLINE. The you can use the Agenda to see how far in 
front, or behind, you are.

Ian.
