Invoice template for translators
Translation agencies process hundreds of invoices a month. The ones with the language pair, word count, and rate on separate lines get paid first. Here's the template built for exactly that, free.
Built for per-word billing
Word count × rate, automatic
Enter 4,200 words at $0.12 and the line totals itself, with proofreading and CAT-discount lines alongside. The services library ships with translation, proofreading, and copywriting presets.
Invoice in their language
Write from an English screen, deliver a French, Spanish, German, or Arabic invoice. Right-to-left layout included for Arabic clients.
Agencies love boring invoices
Sequential numbering, tax ID field, payment terms, and a selectable-text PDF that sails through accounts-payable systems.
Repeat clients in seconds
Save each agency once with their address and currency. Next invoice reuses everything; only the word count changes.
