I agree with Natalie: any CAT tool can handle this file in one go. You just have to tell the CAT tool how to segment the file.
How to segment a file (and how to program the CAT tool to segment correctly), depends on the CAT tool itself. There is on average 110 characters per line. You could probably just segment by paragraph break.
A log file will also contain strings that do not need to be translated. You can specify those strings as placeables/untranslatables in the CAT tool, which will speed up the translation because the translator doesn't have to retype it.
