Addendum: I should have said... "If the offer is valid a year from now, you are ok with an Upper Intermediate (rather than an Advanced) student of Ancient Greek AND the Demonlord is not summoned in the flesh due to mass Human sacrifice"... because there is no guarantee that there will be an October, 2024 at this rate of Doom Progression! ...

Spoiler alert (And I say this as someone who has worked with Linguistics people): MOST translations are *very half a***d* :-P.

A lot of the Mediaeval stuff (such as Middle High German, Old French, etc) are done these days by Zombie, Enslaved, perpetually insomniac Grad Students.

This is because (1) Nobody wants to study that stuff in University anymore & (2) Only a select few European Universities have the proper expertise to deal with the manuscripts.
