How did you find us? en Espa�ol - English Spanish Translator Org: Translation Forum � Translators Forums

How would this best be translated in Spanish:

How did you find us? or what would be better, How did you locate us?

This is referring to a web page.

Thanks.

�C�mo nos encontr�?
�C�mo nos encontraste?
�C�mo nos localiz�?
�C�mo nos localizaste?

(No literales)

�C�mo supo de nosotros?

�C�mo se di� cuenta de nosotros/nuestro sitio?

Just confirming David's suggestion but I wanted to point out that generally you ask
"How did you find us?"
referring to a web site (this also applies to facilities)...the Spanish question would be
"C�mo nos encontr�/ hall�?" o "C�mo supo de nosotros?"

Thank you all......again.

I agree with David's suggestions. I only add that I would prefer the third one "�C�mo nos localiz�?"

Just wanted to comment that when you usually say "locate" is because you had previous reference about it. You locate an address, a restaurant, for example, but you knew about it before.

Normally, the question on the website would be "find", because that is what they want to know and that is why I suggested either "C�mo supo de nosotros" because maybe the reference came from somebody else or "C�mo nos encontr�" because maybe they found the site through a link or googling...

I have worked a few times with web sites and that is the question we post.
