Re:Re:Help needed translating a message about a book ordered from france
Le service de livraison utilise ne propose malheureusement pas de suivi des expeditions
The translations given here are correct, but confusing. A more proper translation might be "The chosen delivery method does not permit expedition tracking".
By expedition tracking I assume that the site means the ability to track the progress of the book as it is being delivered to you, eg. by using a DHL reference number and looking up the current status of your order as it is en route.
Unless of course there is some weird context here to do with expeditions!

Re:addressing a letter in Spanish
Hello, Daniel Morrow
In response to your first question, Mrs. in spanish is Sra.
Brief explanation:
Young females are called Señoritas. When you are introduced to a young lady you can't tell if she is married or not. Especially if you meet a young lady on the street. You can say, "...mucho gusto Señorita..." after a handshake or you have formally introduced each other.
Older women are called Señoras. Again, if they are married it's a sign of respect to acknowledge that by saying Señora and if they are not it is still respectful according to their age. If the woman is not married
In response to your second question, if you are sending an envelope addressed to a company but to a specific person:
You can write or type
(The name of the company)
Atencion: (Full name of the person)
(The address) Different countries arrange the street names and or numberical address different than you might be used to. So before you send a letter or package make sure you have the address correctly trying going to your postal service in your area, they should know about international addresses.
I hope this helps you, if you not you can respond back to me and I'll try to answer your questions or doubts.
Hasta Luego. :)
