let it be known

07:29 Jan 27, 2016 

Please note that my first comment did NOT suggest that "let it be known" is incorrect English, as Liviu Roth has tried to imply. In order that Liviu's over-hasty, rude and misconceived idea does not mislead you as to my own native linguistic proficiency, I would like to point out that I was actually saying that as the term (and other terms) used in your certificate are NOT relevant to the CONTEXT and REGISTER of ANY English certificate, there is a good chance that you are working from a previously-translated text rather than from an original document. In this situation I advise you to try and get the original, as this has previously helped me.

I have no idea why Liviu has refused to understand what I was saying, but as you will see from both my original, and my later comments, I was referring to the use of the terms CONTEXTUALLY, I WAS NOT referring to incorrect English.

I can only apologise that my comments and advice on the Kudoz forum seem to be so subject to the pursuit of a group of translators who, in their angry attempts to prove my incompetency in my native language, only end up misinterpreting and perverting the accurate comments and suggestions I make to be helpful.

I am well aware that "Let it be known" is "British English", as much is it is probably used in other English speaking countries, --- I use the expression myself when required !!!
As a professional translator, "you should have known better" than to skim through my comment WITHOUT READING it properly. My comment says "extremely strange language usage for English BOTH FOR THIS FORMAL REGISTER AND CONTEXT", and ALSO notes its grammatical use IN THIS CONTEXT. This means that IN A CERTIFICATE of this nature, we would never say "let it be known", and the phrase would not be inserted into an introductory clause of a certificate IN THIS WAY.
In plain and simple "British" English, as you seem to have a problem understanding my comments, I am not disputing the presence of this expression in the English language. However, "Let it be known" (which is quite a colloquial, emphatic expression to boot!) would NOT be used in an OFFICIAL CERTIFICATE in this way. !!!!!!

@ Asker : The reason I made this comment was to make you aware of the fact that this is CLEARLY NOT AN ORIGINAL, and perhaps asking for the original might be more helpful for both you and your client.

As a native speaker of English, you should've known better than ..."is very strange language ..."

"Let it be known" is very strange language usage if this comes from an English certificate.
Likewise, "Han, he is the person" is .also an example of extremely strange language usage for English both for this formal register and context, and in its grammatical structure overall. You should check your source text and why it is that such corrupt use of English is being translated.

I.E. In English we would never use this phrasing in a certificate as it is so very personal and colloquial!
