will let him know

Question

How would you translate : "I will let him know that you plan to attend."
Would it be: "Le dejare saber de sus planes de asistir." I know something is not right here. Any help would be appreciated. The phrase is included in a somewhat formal letter I am sending to someone.

Answer 1

Thank you all for your input. I think I am going to use "Le informaré"
Gracias.

Answer 2

I'm not keen on literal translations most of the time, but "hacer saber" is a fairly common construction in Spanish, and I use it personally, so I don't see anything wrong with it, even though there are many other alternatives.

As stated in the dictionary María Moliner:

Hacer saber. Expresión muy frecuente por «'comunicar, 'revelar» o «'avisar».

Answer 3

You guys are trying too hard to translate literally word for word.

Le avisaré
Le informaré

would both work better.

Answer 4

Would it be: "Le dejare saber de sus planes de asistir."

You can say "Le haré saber que piensa asistir", but not "Le dejaré saber".

Answer 5

First of all, would it not be "dejaré"? Why not avoid the problem altogether by using "le diré de..." or "le informaré de..."'

Answer 6

One way would be:
"Le avisaré de sus planes de asistir."
I will notify him of your plans to attend.
