Ask for me
I expect a visitor tomorrow. He will come to our factory.
How do I say "Mañana pregunta por mí en la puerta principal/ de entrada"? Tomorrow please ask for me in the entrance door? I'm saying he must go to the security person in the main door and ask to call for me. Thanks in advance

Yes, you can say that, but I'm old-fashioned enough to insist on Spanish.
Your details on screen give language: Spanish (Spain). With no justification whatever, I kind of assumed that was where you lived. Perhaps the blatantly female username adds to my perplexity. |

Wich female username? sosia? You (perikles) are saying I have a female name? Thanks poli for your advice. In Spain "pides" it's not so usual as in other countries. Saludos

OK - I assumed that living in Spain, you might want to leave a message in Spanish. Unless both your vistor and the guard are both English
I would guess that somebody with a username Sosia is female, and in this case I would guess wrong. |

Your translation is good, but my correction makes the English sound more natural. A propósito: ¿se puede decir me pides en lugar de preguntas por mi?

I wouldn't say or "pides por mí" but only "pides por mí".

The alternative given by Poli was "me pides".
