I didn't care for the word "sheet" and didn't know what that would translate

If this is a concern that you have that has not been brought about by
experience with your vendor then I would not worry too much about it. Most
legitimate translation vendors are set up to deal with ambiguous word issues
that are much more complex than that. If this is a concern that *has*
sprouted from experience with your vendor.....your translation vendor should
be strung up and beaten!
