How can I translate the phrase "Es un placer haber sido de utilidad" into English? What ways sound most natural?
"It's a pleasure to have been useful" sounds a little weird for me.
¿Cómo puedo traducir la frase "Es un placer haber sido de utilidad" al inglés? ¿Qué traducciones suenan mas naturales?
"It's a pleasure to have been useful" me suena raro.
A good natural sounding translation, that still keeps close to the original diction and wording, would probably be:
It's been a pleasure to be of assistance.
Other possibilities might include:
- I'm glad I could help.
- I'm more than happy to have lent a hand.
On top of this, in formal situations, it also very common so say No, the pleasure is (all) mine.
Example:
Mary: Thank you for helping me find my keys, sir.
John: No, the pleasure is all mine.
