Thread: Need a quick verification on translation

Used google translator to translate:

I am attaching an updated file. Please let me know what the status is as soon as possible. Thanks!

into:

Te adjunto un archivo actualizado. Por favor, hágamelo saber lo que el estado es tan pronto como sea posible. ¡Gracias!


Was this a correct translation?

Hi roculpsoft

So far as google translations go, it's not the worst I've seen, but it's not good either.

In Spanish there is a distinction on whether you are using a formal or informal way of addressing the other person. Using a formal tone, the following sounds better for me:

"Le adjunto un archivo actualizado. Por favor dígame en qué estado se encuentra en cuanto pueda. ¡Gracias!"

I hope this helps.

Cheers.
P.

Thank you very much! I was looking for the formal option since it's a business contact I am trying to speak with.
