I have a really good cheat sheet for translation if you are interested. It's a word doc so I could PM it if you would like.

Jim,
Be prepared for his son to translate the invoices out to his father when it comes time to pay you. I can attest from lengthy experience that some foreign customers will get away with murder. Don't ask me to go into depth with this subject as we all know the American Government allows them leniency. Try to take one to small claims court or to put a lien on their property.
I hope that all goes well in your services with them this season.
