Bilingual layout
Bilingual invoice template
Each field labelled in English over German. Only labels — your data is never translated.
What you see above is the whole document — every template stays visible whatever you pay. Making an invoice with Bilingual itself is not part of the Free plan: Free covers 6 of the 60 templates, which are the 6 the generator offers, and the rest arrive with the paid plan when it launches.

How this sheet is set
The Bilingual layout unskinned: each field labelled in English over German. Labels only — nothing you typed is translated, and the dates keep the shared formatter.
The Bilingual layout
Every field is named twice, in English and in German. Only the labels are translated: names, addresses, descriptions and amounts print exactly as they were typed, because translating a counterparty's legal name would be a change to the record.
Who it suits
Cross-border work where the invoice has to be read by a counterparty in one language and filed by an accountant in another.
The voice a finance department reads without noticing it: neutral sans-serif type, plain hierarchy, enough weight to survive a photocopy, and no typographic opinion competing with the figures.
Modelled on the German business letter
Modelled on the geometry of the German business letter, DIN 5008 Form B: a fixed address field positioned for a window envelope, fold and punch marks down the left edge, and the issuer's particulars gathered into a foot block.
A tradition tag describes layout lineage and nothing more. It is not a compliance claim. The template prints exactly the facts you type: there are no per-line tax rates and no state-issued identifiers in the document model, and nothing is validated, registered or checksummed. Whether a given document satisfies a particular country's requirements is between you and your accountant.
What it prints
Every template in the library prints the same set of facts — a template that dropped one would fail the library’s own contract test. What changes between them is where the facts sit and how they are set.
- Issuer and recipient, each with an address, an optional contact line, and a tax label and number you write yourself.
- Invoice number, issue date, service period, payment terms or an explicit due date, and the date of the service agreement.
- Your own references — purchase order, contract, cost centre — labelled the way your client labels them.
- Line items with a quantity, an optional unit, an optional period, a rate and an amount.
- A note field, and full banking details with an optional payment reference.
Anything you leave empty prints nothing at all — no blank labels, no placeholder rows.
