Spanish term
toma de conocimiento
Spanish to English
Other
General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
I understand that this means that the person has seen/read/received the document in question. And I know that "acknowledgement of receipt" is actually "acuse de recibo." My question is, would you translate "toma de conocimiento" as "acknowledgement of receipt" as well?
I have it in different contexts - all in official letters:
El comité HA TOMADO CONOCIMIENTO del mismo.
...permite solicitar la revisión y TOMA DE CONOCIMIENTO de los siguiente documentos:
I have been translating this as "has been informed of..." but I am considering switching to "acknowledges receipt of..."/"acknowledgement of receipt" (depending on the context).
I'd love to receive feedback/suggestions on this.
Thanks!

Note from asker:
| This sounds perfect for "El comité HA TOMADO CONOCIMIENTO" translated as "The Committee HAS TAKEN COGNIZANCE OF". But, how would you suggest that I translate "... solicita la revisión y TOMA DE CONOCIMIENTO de los siguiente documentos"? |

Oh yes. Well, I don't know how many committeees you have sat on recently ....... But the fact is that is the absolutely correct translation here. Is it not already in the glossary????

note/take note of
You've given two different examples. I would say "noted" for the first one, and something like "revise and take note of" for the second, though I don't think we have enough context for this one.
My dictionary reference says it doesn't have any translations for the phrase, but then gives some at the bottom of the page.
