standard rates for written translation

[Robert Chandler]

Dear Josh (and all)

What you say here is very interesting:

There is obviously a greater difference than I had realized between
different styles of writing.  I have NEVER seen a literary translation into
English that has not been 10 to 25 % longer than the original, at least in
terms of word count.
