Not really, the translation of the Qur'an is relatively short. You could read it multiple times in a single day if you wanted to (not that this is necessarily a good way to read it).

Akhi it is the original Arabic, after it has been memorized, that you can recite a part of in seven minutes. I am talking about fast reciters. Usual reciters take about 20 minutes to recite a part. I take about an hour to recite a part and I am out after that. So the fast Haafiz reciter will take about 7 time 30, that is, 210 minutes to finish a Qur'an. This is three and half an hour. So a fast reciter can hope to finish one Qur'an per day. Of course there have been superfast reciters who had done multiple recitations in a day. Those will be exceptions. In case of translations the single reading will take not less than a month. Or that is what happened in my case - it was more than a month when I did it.

And even in case of Arabic recitation we should remember the Hadith that whoever has finished the Noble Qur'an in less than three days has understood nothing. You shall get the reward for recitation but if any understanding is aimed at then our recitation should not be more than ten parts a day.
