I have a series of text messages which I have translated into English, but need a format for presenting them as part of a legal file for court. Can you help? Thank you!

If faced with that situation, I would write them in chronological order with date and time starting with the oldest.

The client should request the specific format.

In the US, we write two columns: In the left column we write the original text message and in the right column the corresponding translation, keeping the date and time in chronological order.
