Translation Conversion

[Margaret Samu]

Dear Colleagues,

There must be a convenient translators' calculation for this question:

A 3000-word essay in Russian would be approximately how many words in
English? That is, if I'm asked to write a 3000-word essay, how many words
should I write in English before sending it off to the translator?

The essay is supposed to be 10 pages in a 12-point font with 1.5 line
spacing, which the person commissioning this work has calculated at 3000
Russian words.

Any thoughts would be most welcome.

Best regards,
Margaret
