Surely, you can make a formula. Basically, you can multiply your french
textpage with textpages-english/textpages-french (excluding blank pages,
contents, etc). However, such a formula can never be more concise than ±
1 page so you will always have to adjust the page number by comparing.

To avoid this, you could make a program with a line-page mapping from
french to english and visa versa. But, who would spend the time?
