Creating invoices or any other document on Refrens in your native language is quick and easy. 

In this article, we will learn how to create an invoice in your native language. The same process can be followed for other accounting documents as well.

Take a look at this sample invoice created in Arabic on Refrens:


Let’s see how you can create invoices like this.



Step 1: Start a New Invoice

Begin by going to Sidebar > Accounting > Invoices > Create a New Invoice:


Once you're on the invoice creation page, you’ll notice that all the fields are in English by default.


Step 2: Edit the Field Titles to Your Preferred Language


You can change the field titles to any language you choose. If you want the invoice labels to appear in, say, Arabic, Chinese, or any other language, just edit them directly by clicking on the field names:

For instance, you can update the fields like “Invoice Title”, "Invoice Number", "Due Date", etc. to the language of your choice. 


Step 3: Review Your Invoice


After saving, you’ll be redirected to the invoice preview page. This is where you can check everything before downloading or sending the invoice:


Step 4: Change Script (Most Important)

To ensure that you don’t face any issues while downloading or printing your document, you need to change the document script.

You can do that from the document preview page in the “Change Script” section:

Just select the supported script as per your language and you are good to go.

In case your language (i.e. Arabic) follows right-to-left direction, click on “Enable right-to-left script”.

Once you select your preferred script, go to “Change Color & Font” section:


   


You will notice that system has automatically updated the list of supported fonts for your language. In case you don’t prefer the default font, click on the dropdown option to choose from other available fonts.


Do I Have to Do This Every Time?


Once you set your language preferences and font settings, Refrens will automatically apply them to your future invoices and accounting documents. However, there are two important things to keep in mind:


  • Make Changes in the Most Recent Document – The system will only apply the changes to future documents if you've made them in the most recent one. Additionally, any changes made to your latest document will only apply to new invoices, not existing ones.


  • Settings Are Saved at the Document Level – Preferences are saved at the document level, so updates made to your latest invoice will only affect new invoices. They won't apply to quotations, proformas, or other document types. Therefore, you’ll need to update these settings separately for each document type.
