Idea originally proposed from the following wish below. The desire is to be aware of how big or time consuming will a translation task be for the user.

#### Proposed solution
We can do show translation effort time in a more concise way in the suggestions (e.g., to easily identify quick translations) and in a more detailed way at the confirm step. In order to communicate the effort, expected time using some discrete levels (5 min., 15min., 30min., 1h, and a few hours) can provide intuitive and useful reference for users to estimate the effort based on the time they can/want to invest in the translation.

### Derived Requirement
Ensure that the translation interface surfaces an estimate of the time required to complete a translation task, with discrete levels of effort such as "5 min," "15 min," "30 min," "1h," and "a few hours," to help users gauge the size and time commitment of the translation.
### Expected impact
[Data shows](https://analytics.wikimedia.org/published/reports/content_translation/cx_deletion_rate_factors_report_202404.html) that translating a long source article results in more frequent deletions (T356765). By emphasizing quick translation opportunities, we may help direct users to the contributions where they are more likely to succeed. By informing about the expected effort, we help to set expectations when selecting a longer article too.
### BDD
```gherkin
Feature: Display of Estimated Translation Effort
Scenario: Surface estimated translation time for users
Given the user is in the translation interface
When the user views suggested translation tasks
Then the system should display an estimated time to complete the translation, categorized as "5 min," "15 min," "30 min," "1h," or "a few hours"
And at the confirm step, the system should provide a detailed estimate of the translation effort
```

====Test Steps
__Test Case 1: Ensure Detailed Estimate is Shown at Confirm Step__
1. Select a suggested article for translation and proceed to the confirm step.
2. ✅❓❌⬜ **AC1:** Confirm that a more detailed estimate of the translation effort is displayed at the confirm step, including the same discrete levels for under and over 15 minutes.
