    целесообразный — presents constant problems for interpreters
    "Advisable," "expedient" or "to the point" usually work "Purposeful" has
    a narrower range of applications but may occasionally fit the sentence,
    anything involving "goals" should be avoided
    

10. 
    мы считаем... целесообразным придерживаться — you can, of
    course, interpret this as "We find it advisable to keep to/maintain," 01 any
    other of the verbs suggested here If the speaker is going fast, however, the
    simplest solution is to say "we find it advisable to do what we have done
    in previous years," saving a good number of words in the process The
    interpreter should always keep in mind the short and strong verbs "make,
    do, go," which often provide far better and simpler translations than do
    lengthy verbal constructions
