What goes on a translator invoice

Translation and Proofreading are priced per word, so a 2,400 word document is one line with the total done for you. Interpreting goes by the hour. Certified translation can carry a fixed price, and a Rush fee line covers jobs needed by tomorrow. Quote first, so the client sees the word count and price, then turn the quote into an invoice in one tap once the work is delivered.

Questions translators ask

Do translators charge per word or per hour?

Written translation is usually priced per word, often counted from the source text. Interpreting is usually charged by the hour, sometimes with a minimum. Reviewing someone else's translation can go either way. Whatever you choose, say which text the word count comes from so the client can check it.

What should a translation invoice include?

The client's details, an invoice number and date, the document or job name, the language pair, and the word count or hours with your rate. Add certified translation or a rush fee on their own lines. Then the total, the due date and your bank details, so the client can pay straight away.

Can I charge a rush fee for urgent translation?

Yes, and many translators do, because urgent work means moving other jobs or working late. Agree it before you start and show it on the quote as its own line, so the client sees what speed costs. Easy Invoice has a Rush fee line ready for this.
