Did you know that 1-800 numbers do not work outside of North America? You should provide an alternative telephone number or other customer service options for your overseas customers.
If you have a regular telephone number you should start it with a +1 then the, area code, followed by the actual phone number (example +1(248) 239-1144) so that your customers know what the country code is for your telephone number.
You would regret putting all the work into your translation and then having your contact information backfire. Happy dialing.
