I have no information on why the entry is so apparently slow/low but would suggest that it may be because of the very prescriptive format of the Bake-Off. Bolder and more adept spirits may have been delighted to be so challenged. I'm afraid that I recognised immediately that it was not for me.
I don't know what other participants in this board may be motivated by, but a pure pleasure in wrestling with translating is not what energises me. I need to have an interest of my own in the subject/material/author/period and this competition was thus, perhaps solely for me, or perhaps not, too narrowly drawn.
