Please check my English rendition. I believe it can also render the Russian variant properly, do you agree?

I translated it from french "On se connait?". Russian sentence "Вы знаете меня?" (Do you know me?) sounds a bit unnatural to me. Unless it's someone who is suffering from amnesia :)
Your english translation seems to be correct. But I am not sure if it is used in common speech.

You mean, you're not sure whether acquaintances would ask each other in Russian "Мы знакомы?" in the sense of: "Do we know each other?"? ;-)

Now, a little more seriously, do you think "Are we acquaintances?" would not be a suitable rendition? If so, I'll unlink the sentence.

I'm quite sure of russian "Мы знакомы?" even as "Do you know me?" :) But I can't say the same for your "Are we acquaintances?" because I'm not so good at English.
Anyway, I think you should not unlink it. Maybe can you add a tag "@needs native check"?

Oh, the English is OK, I don't need to check it. I asked for your opinion, whether you think it can be another translation for "Мы знакомы?", besides "Do we know each other?".

OK, I'll leave it. Thanks for your help, anyhow!

I think, it can.
