AllegroTrans United Kingdom Yes Emmanuella 23:37 Jan 22, 2023  So Gladis's first suggestion is correct Emmanuella Italy 15:53 Jan 22, 2023  https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english-french/... https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english-french/... Tony M France @ Emmanuella 12:43 Jan 22, 2023  Oui... depuis le XIXe ! Emmanuella Italy 12:38 Jan 22, 2023  Apparemment, les choses ont bien changé ... Je m'incline AllegroTrans United Kingdom The whole expression 12:32 Jan 22, 2023  "Vous souhaitant bonne réception de la présente, veuillez recevoir, l’expression de notre considération distinguée" is not really translatable into English, as English style doesn't use these long sign-off formulas. "Yours faithfully" is adequate. Thomas Miles France présente (n.) 08:36 Jan 22, 2023  In legal French, the noun 'présente(s)' can be translated generically as 'this document' or with more context 'this contract', 'these terms', etc. The expression 'par la présente / par les présentes' can be translated as 'hereby'.
