I just had to make the calculation 😊
Three years is equal to approximately 740 working days.
2.000.000 words in 740 working days is equal to 2703 words per working day.
It’s about 350 words per hour: the assumed/required output when I started translating in 1988. With source documents on paper (often fax).
