Present this entity’s full and legal “Name” on the first space of this section then continue with the “Street Address,” “City, State, Country”,” then the “Zip Code” of the Translation Client’s mailing address. 
Now a concise but organized presentation explaining the dollar amount due for the translation service should be included.

This should be presented as the amount of money that the Translator commands as payment for one hour’s worth of his or her services. The “Amount” column in this invoice must have a calculated value that the Translation Client may double-check.

2 – Submit The Freelance Translator’s Professional Information To The Header
This spreadsheet will present a header to the invoice after it is printed. This area should be considered the first ten rows. Let us tend to this area by first uploading the Freelance Translator’s professional logo in cell A1 and entering the legal name of his or her freelance service in cell A2. 
The next few cells down column A will now seek the Freelance Translator’s mailing information. This means we must enter the “Name” of the Freelance Translator in cell A3. The rest of the Freelancer Translator’s mailing address should be furnished to this sheet with the “Street Address” in cell A4, the Freelance Translator’s “City, State, Country” in cell A5, and the corresponding “Zip Code” in cell A6.
The Freelance Translator will likely have more modern means of contact available so Translation Clients may initiate contact more conveniently. Thus, use cell A7 to display the Freelance Translator’s professional “E-Mail” address and cell A8 to convey his or her “Phone” number.
Before we continue with this paperwork, we must satisfy the remaining area of this header. To this end, consult the records for this bill then substitute the pound sign in cell F4 with the invoice number the Translator will use to refer to this bill. You may change the invoice “Date” in the adjacent cell from the current calendar date to a different one at will.

Column A will continue providing an area for the remainder of this address by reserving cell A13 so you may input the “City, State…,” and “Country” that must accompany the Client’s “Street Address.”
Finally, conclude the Freelance Translator’s address by placing his or her “Zip Code” in cell A14.
4 – Define The Translation Services Or Translated Products Being Purchased
The table occupying the middle of this spreadsheet will function as a way to define the translation job being billed. First, give a definition to when the Translator worked. Ideally, you can provide a date and time period. Column A of this table will give you the room to present each shift on a row by row basis. 
Next, we will sum up all the “Hours” to one number in the “F” column of this table.
The third column here, title “$/Hour,”: will also need some material submitted. Here, input how much the Freelance Translator will be paid for eerie one hour of work performed in USD. This will populate the majority of cells in column H.
One more item must be entered on this sheet. Cell H28 has been reserved for the “Tax” amount the Translation Client must pay. This figure will automatically contribute to the “Total” documented in cell H29
5 – Terms Regarding Payment Or Additional Material Can Be Included At Will
Now, if the Freelance Translator has decided to set a time limit to when an on-time payment can be made, then report this period as number of days in cell “A30.” To do this properly simply delete the brackets and enter the number in their place, making sure the language of this statement remains intact otherwise. Any remaining material may be placed in cell A31.
