As @crihak mentioned, いただく might be the better choice. I think させていただく, not させてくださる/くれる is correct. And I think it sounds weird with もらう for some reason.
If using いただく/もらう, wouldn’t the structure be 英訳させていただきます。end of sentence, meaning „Allow me to translate into English“. Adding a ありがとう would then mean „thank you that I am allowing myself to translate this“. But with くれる it‘s just the standard くれてありがとう, thanks for letting me do this.
It might sound more natural to you with いただく because that’s the usual combo with the causative, but I don’t think it’s correct to use it in a „thank you for…“ meaning. Or am I just completely confusing myself here?
I would stick with simply くれる, I don’t think it’s too impolite or anything, but I guess you could always use くださってありがとう
Any feedback on this question?
させてくださり・くださって, or させていただき will both work if you want to increase your formality. The former will emphasize the action/permission of the person you’re thanking, the latter your own gratitude. 「させていたただいてありがとうございます」seems never to show up, probably because it’s a little run-on with its length compared to the natural break of いただき.
One more example, among many: 会社訪問のお礼「参加させて頂き」というのは変？失礼？ - 会社訪問のお礼の... - Yahoo!知恵袋
Unless you really want to tread on eggshells with this person, though, くれて is probably completely fine. (If you feel like you should be using exclamation marks, I probably wouldn’t go with either higher-level keigo option. They’re pretty heavy. But I don’t know the author or your relationship to them.)
I have a question about the phrase 休みの日 (as in the sentence 「休みの日に、よくどこに行きますか。」)
I understand that these are some kind of days off, but is this more like just the days you normally don’t go to work/school, or specific days you’ve taken off, or more like the days of a longer holiday/vacation?
It’s any day off of work or school, including regularly scheduled weekends, etc.
Hi All, I have a question about one of the WK example sentences:
「このえいがは、十八才以上しか見れません。」
“Only people 18 or older can watch this movie.”
If I read this literally, as far as I understand, this would mean, “Only people 18 or older can’t watch this movie.” Am I missing something critical? If I changed older to younger, would it still mean the same thing because we use a negative when we actually mean a positive verb in colloquial speech?
しか only works with a negation, to mean ‘nothing except’
So a literal translation would actually be: Nobody except the people 18 and up can watch this movie.
Thanks. That’s exactly what I was missing. “nothing except” is a much clearer description than “only” which is what I was thinking.
It’s a rainy Saturday morning and I’m sitting here watching Terrace House (on Netflix with the Language Learning for Netflix Chrome extension). I mostly skip over the stuff I don’t know and concentrate on the stuff I do. But this one looks like something I should know… can anyone help me out?
これは何用っすかね?
これ - this
は - topic particle
何用 - what for
っす -
かね? - interrogative sentence-ending particle expressing doubt
Can anyone tell me what the っす is doing there?
Thank you so much! 
It’s the slurred version of です. Semi-polite vibe, maybe ? (I’m really not sure)
Isn’t that just a contracted です？
Fantastic! Thank you so much @Arzar33 and @rever4217! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a slurred / contracted です like that before! Thank you so much! And semi-polite sure fits the context; it’s episode one and everyone is just getting to know each other! Thank you! 
I asked if this sentence was natural on HiNative: コロナウイルスのせいで休校あります。(I know, it should be になりました at the end instead of あります 
).
Someone corrected のせいで to のため. I thought せい had the same meaning, but gave a more negative nuance, which is definitely true in this sentence.
So, two questions: Were they right to change it? Also, can anyone tell me what the difference in nuance is between せい and ため?
I asked a native speaker about it. She said she feels that ため sounds slightly more neutral (just stating a cause) while せい sounds slightly more agressive, like you are blaming something. But the difference is very small and the せい version is also fine.
せい refers more to deliberate cause. Like it can be a person’s fault.
妹のせいでグラスが割れた。It is my sister’s fault the glass broke.
地震のため、グラスが割れた。Due to the earthquake, the glass broke.
You wouldn’t say ‘It is the earthquake’s fault the glass broke’.
It is possible to use せい for things that have no volition or agency, you can find examples in the dictionary.
No basis for this, but I agree with Leebo. It sounds perfectly fine to me to say:
地震のせいで、グラスが割れた。
or
パスタのせいで、太ってきました。
俺のせいじゃない！パスタだぞ！
But it kind of implies that you … blame the earthquake, or the pasta, in a negative and personal way…?
Thanks everyone! It makes a lot more sense now 
" ～んです・のです" I can’t quite wrap my head around this one. Not how to use it because it’s pretty darn simple, just why to use it? It seems redundant. Or maybe that’s the point. Is there anything I should know about why/when I should be ending my sentences like this?
The former is just merely a contracted form which gives it a slightly more casual/conversational feel.
Maybe this would help?
