Are you asking how many books a large language model would need to read to learn a new language if it was only trained on a different language? probably just 1 (the dictionary)

Do you know anything about how languages work? A dictionary doesn't have sufficient information to speak a language.
Actually I do know how latent space works, If you meant achieving excellence in syntax and grammar then much like us more examples are better
LLMs need vastly more examples than humans do, many orders of magnitude more.
