    'Can you give me a receipt in English?' should be accepted.

        A place in Hong Kong, perhaps.

          Though in that case, I suppose we wouldn't be asking in Mandarin…

          I understand Duo's very direct/literal translation; however, I think "Can you give me a receipt written in English" is a better translation.

          This is absolutely better. The current wording seems to suggest getting a receipt from England

          Does anyone know if there is a difference between 收据 and 发票? I always use the latter.

            发票 is a 收据 which is registered to (or can be tracked by) the authority.
