Here's the assignment I was given:

A one-page Japanese press release (standard content for a technology
company), translate J to E
A 1.5 page excerpt from a Japanese tech manual, targeted towards
software programmers, Translate J to E
A 1.5 page excerpt from an English tech manual, same target, translate
E to J

How long would you expect to be given to complete these three tasks,
allowing of course for appropriate rewriting time?

I was given 2.5 hours. I felt that wasn't very much, especially for a
position that isn't supposed to involve much if any translation (and
for which I was interviewing as a writer, not translator).
