Your sentence was not added because the following already exists.
"die Rechnung" = invoice, or bill?
or both?
Both, I should say.
Thanks. Then, as I suspected, "Rechnung" is an ambiguous term in German.
When translating such a sentence into English, we can either use "the bill" or "the invoice", which are not the same thing. Could there be any indication in a German sentence to preclude either one of them as a possible rendition?
In Hebrew, for instance, we have חשבון, ĥeŝbón - for a bill, and חשבונית, ĥeŝbonít - for an invoice.
If you have it sent to your house, it is a invoice, no? Isn't a bill always paid at once?
My problem is with a proforma invoice. It's like a bill (and it is not as binding as an invoice, at least not legally). I could send a bill by fax to one of my clients (after sending him the translation); I'll send him an invoice only after actually being paid, or when he says he would pay after receiving an invoice.
