I would that you not leave as such........

Question

How does "would" get translated here? or "as such"? Gracias.

Answer 1

I think that meaning of would in this context is just an abbreviated form of I would xxxx (e.g. *I would prefer that..., I would hate that...)

I would [rather] that you did not...

I would [appreciate] that ...

Therefore, to translate it use the conditional tense and not an abbreviation.

The as such can mean different things depending on what follows. If nothing follows it could mean "in that manner", or it could mean ...I would that you not leave as such behavior is viewed as rude or contemptuous. You could follow the as such with a variety of nouns.

...como tal+ noun... is one possibility.
