add invoice templating system
similar to Xero for Office but online. There are many international users who will love to have invoices in their own language.
In the December 2010 release of Xero, we added a feature for users to define custom branding themes using .docx invoice templates. These templates are used to generate PDFs of invoices and statements. These docx invoice templates can use any language you choose.
See http://blog.xero.com/2010/12/design-your-own-invoices/ for more informaiton.
The Xero API has since been enhanced to allow invoices to be created, referencing different branding themes. Once an invoice has been created, the PDF of the invoice can be downloaded via the API.
See http://developer.xero.com/api-overview/http-get/ and http://blog.xero.com/developer/api/invoices/ for more information.

http://xero.uservoice.com/forums/5528-xero-api/suggestions/712316-allow-label-customization-on-invoices follows silajarvi idea of only customizing a dozen fields - much easier to implement than a templating System.

This is a deal breaker for us. We don't mind using the app in English, but we want to serve our customers in their own native language. If the templating system is not possible at the moment, please do let xero user to change all english words on the invoice to something else. And you need to internationalize your character set as well...
