"We will see each other soon"

I seem to have a problem with translating "each other". My attempt for the sentence "We will see each other soon" is...

Nos veremos pronto.
or
Nos veremos uno al otro pronto.

both are OK - also, simply 'nos vemos...'.

The sentence that you need to translate is literally translate into of the Spanish of the following way.

Nos veremos pronto.

Now in the second choice that yourself wrote in the post also it's correct.

"Nos vemos pronto" or "nos veremos pronto". "Each other" is not translated.

so in this sentence you wouldn't need to say "each other" in Spanish (Is it implied)? Or, "each other" does not translate to Spanish? ...when would you use "uno al otro" and is that the equivalent to "each other"?

Usually, we don't say "el uno al otro", it's understood:

Los niños se lavan (each other, you could add "el uno al otro", but it's not common)

Nos vemos (we would never say "el uno al otro" here)

Nosotros nos felicitamos las Navidades (the same here, we'd never say el uno al otro)

Mi amigo y yo nos escribimos correos (the same, it's understood)

Maybe you could use "el uno al otro" to clarify a sentence. For instance:

- Las palabrotas que llegaron a soltar el otro día Juan y Pedro.
- ¿A quién?
- El uno al otro.



And yes, there is another way of saying the same: "entre sí". But it has the same use

No, it's the same "nos vemos" or "nos veremos". There's no difference because sometimes the present is used to express the future

Tal vez sea una de tantas cuestiones regionales, pero yo diría "espero que volvamos a vernos pronto".
