help with translations

How would I say the following things: "I am looking forward to your arrival." and  "Everything will be arranged for you."  As for context, someone is arriving from Russia and I want them to know that they need not pay for anything at the hotel.

Also, how do you say "attachment" and "to attach" in Russian (as in e-mail lingo).  Thanks!

Also, how do you say "attachment" and "to attach" in Russian (as in e-mail lingo).

There is a fansy computer geeks slang the verb: to attach --> приаттачить :))))

"I am looking forward to your arrival."
Ждем Вашего приезда (official)
Жду твоего приезда (informal, for friends etc)

"Everything will be arranged for you."
Все будет готово для Вас. (official)
Все будет готово для тебя. (informal, for friends etc)

to attach - прикреплять
attachment - вложение

"I am looking forward to your arrival."
Ждем Вашего приезда (official)
or
С нетерпением ждем Вашего приезда

Looks like translated by http://translate.ru

The formal variant is almost OK, only I would rather use 'Все будет готово к Вашему приезду'.

Informal I woul rather write something like 'Жду тебя. В гостинице все заказано и оплачено, дополнительно ни за что платить не надо.'


P.S. Oh, I was unfair to translate.ru, it says 'Я с нетерпением жду вашего прибытия. Все будет устроено для Вас.'

you were unfair

"Ждем Вашего приезда + Все будет готово к Вашему приезду" at the same time sounds not good either

[icamel.livejournal.com]

To translate 'for you' as 'для Вас' in this context means to make a mistake so big that even mechanical translator wouldn't.

[anc-q.livejournal.com]

Oh I understand what you mean - you just see yourself as a great translator. yay for you.
I don't want to continue this endless talk about Your Highness because it's useless.

[icamel.livejournal.com]

No, you didn't understand that too.

Приложение, приложить.

the funny thing is that if you say "прикрепить вложение", which is completely correct from Russian language prospective, most people wouldn't get it first, and ask you to explain :-)

but if you say "приаттачить" then it would be clear what you mean right away, even though there is no such a word neither in English nor in Russian

like it or not, but that's reality :-)

"even though there is no such a word neither in English nor in Russian"
what do you mean? it sounds like the word attachment? to attach?

[bekesha.livejournal.com]

people say "приаттачить" in Russian literally when speak Russian - it's not a Russian word, not an English neither - it's like when you take a word from another language and say it in a way that your language implies

[i-am-luboff.livejournal.com]

attachment - прикрепленный файл
to attach - прикрепить / выслать прикрепленным файлом

"приаттачить" sounds very informal. I would say that few people understand this word.
