Never totally trust the translator. in this case it does give you the translation -but if you look at the options they are disastrous when someone says Gracias, for something you did for them, the polite response is ' no hay de que' or you can use more casually "de nada"

You can actually type this phrase into the SD "translate" box and get exactly what you are asking. Try it out and see. There are a lot of well-known phrases like this one that the SD dictionary can help you out with to make sense of the language.

Welcome to the SD site! Happy learning!

Pacofinkler is correct. The three different translations make the meaning ambiguous.

There is no way to tell if someone has used the translator first and is still not sure of the meaning of the word or phrase, or if they have not used the translator at all.

The rules don't tell you to spell that out along with your question.

If there was a box to check in the question window, something like:

x yes, I used the translator and still have a question

x no, I did not use the translator yet

That might help enter image description here
