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".

  • You do not need a comma before когда

    Надо что‐то вроде "Приносим извинения за временные неудобства"и никаких "уважений " не потребуется. Хотите "неформальности", напишите просто "ваша команда..."

  • @A K what do you mean and what should I find there? Definitely there should be no comma here.

    @anixx: of course you do need a comma before когда.

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more personal here (and you don't until you rewrite the rest of the message in the same style), something a little bit outdated like с рабочим приветом, крепко обнимаем, жмём руку etc.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.
