Italian term or phrase: Lei vada
Avrei bisogno di usare la back translation per la politeness form Lei, in quanto ho bisogno di evidenziare proprio il concetto di politeness form/ terzo pronome singolare. Voi come lo mettereste? Mi servirebbe comunque che sia conciso in quanto dovrei metterlo in una tabella….
Grazie mille

Notes to answerer
Asker: So che questa è la traduzione ufficiale ma a me nella back translation servirebbe evidenziare il fatto che venga usato Lei invece del tu, non solo in questo caso ma in molti altri esempi. Non c'è un modo ufficiale per la back translation della forma Lei?

  -> grazie, Mirko; buon lavoro e buona giornata!

neutral  James (Jim) Davis: To Jasmine: no there is no "official" way to always translate "lei". Each instance requires creativity and imagination based on the context, which you do not give. If it were that easy a computer could do it.

neutral  Lara Barnett: I agree with James totally. This is a contextual thing and "you may go" is a very general suggestion of the meaning, but may not fit the context very well.
