Comment: "I wish I could split half the points and give them to Per on this one, because they are both equivalent, though for my particular context I found that this alternative was most appropriate. The phrase "on account" makes it implicit that it is an advance payment. Thank you both."

advance payment
A payment 'á konto' is a payment made on account, not against a specific invoice for a specific item or service. As a freelancer, you could demand á konto payment for half the translation cost before starting, knowing that the final payment would be the invoice amount less the advance amount. "Payment on account" is an alternative term, but this is almost always an advance paument, so why obfuscate matters?
