How to Automate Document & Report Creation as a Translator

Mixing up billing models ruins your evening. LegalBridge needs a $1,275 word-count invoice, while MedTech wants an itemized hourly statement for 12 hours of interpretation. Spending over three hours every month calculating rates and formatting PDFs for 12 clients takes time away from actual translation work.

The Current Reality

The Manual Way

Open Excel to figure out word counts times your rate for each client, copy that data into a Word template, turn it into a PDF, and email them one by one.

3 hours per month
  1. Export word count logs from SDL Trados or your CAT tool
  2. Manually calculate totals in Excel using specific $/word or $/hour rates
  3. Copy-paste figures into a generic invoice template in Google Docs
  4. Format currency and check for math errors across 12 clients
  5. Save each as a separate PDF and attach to individual emails

AI Secretary

Hey Christine, need an invoice for MedTech. 14 hours of onsite interpreting last week at $65/hr plus $45 travel expense.
9:41 AM
Got it. That's $910 for labor + $45 travel = $955 total. I'm making the invoice now with your standard terms. Should I include the breakdown of hours per day?
9:41 AM
Yes, break it down by date. Also add a note that the glossary update is included.
9:42 AM
Done. The Google Doc 'MedTech_Invoice_Oct.pdf' is ready. It lists the 4 dates, total hours, and the glossary note. Want me to draft the email to their procurement team?
9:42 AM
Perfect. Draft it but don't send yet. I'll review the PDF first.
9:43 AM
Understood. The draft is saved in your Gmail drafts folder. Link to the PDF is in the message. Just reply 'send' when you're ready.
