There's an issue with translation of some strings from Stack Exchange login screen into Russian: XOXO I've suggested the neutral 'С уважением, команда Stack Exchange' ('WBR, SE team'), but something like 'Чмоки, команда Stack Exchange' seems more correct (see urban dictionary).

Any ideas? ;)

  • "x means kisses, o means hugs" - т.е. это "целуем, обнимаем". – Artemix Feb 04 '17 at 18:51
  • You do not need a comma before когда – Anixx Feb 04 '17 at 20:40

    Надо что‐то вроде "Приносим извинения за временные неудобства"и никаких "уважений " не потребуется. Хотите "неформальности", напишите просто "ваша команда..." – V.V. Feb 04 '17 at 20:41
  • @A K what do you mean and what should I find there? Definitely there should be no comma here. – Anixx Feb 04 '17 at 20:43
  • @Anixx I've read 'before команда', not 'before когда'. You're right: noneed comma there. – A K Feb 04 '17 at 20:44

    @anixx: of course you do need a comma before когда. – Quassnoi Feb 04 '17 at 21:13
  • @AK: what did you end up using? – Quassnoi Aug 27 '21 at 15:34
  • @Quassnoi safest one: 'С уважением' – A K Aug 27 '21 at 16:38

Чмоки would sound too sarcastic and out of tune with the rest of the message (which itself is a bit too much of officialese to my taste, not sure if intentionally or not). That's a deliberate mockery unlike genuine "hugs and kisses".

С уважением is the safest option here, but if you really want to be a little bit more personal here (and you don't until you rewrite the rest of the message in the same style), something a little bit outdated like с рабочим приветом, крепко обнимаем, жмём руку etc. would work too.

Но вы держитесь

Frankly, offering hugs and especially kisses is a strange affair when presented to a person you just kinda failed and whom you don't have romantic or close friendship involvement with.

"Ну, вы держитесь, там" would fit perfectly nowadays.
