Abstract: The aim of the current paper is to clarify some aspects of the formalism used for describing the scalar-tensor gravity characterized by four arbitrary local functionals of the scalar field. We recall the objects that are invariant with respect to a spacetime point under the local Weyl rescaling of the metric and under the scalar field redefinition. We phrase and prove a theorem that allows to link such an object to each quantity in a theory where two out of the four arbitrary local functionals of the scalar field are specified in a suitable manner. Based on these results we phrase and reason the existence of the so called translation rules.
