"which see for additional details"?

Should read "see the witch for details". That's what I do anyway  :doh:

See what for details? there is no subject in that second part of the sentence

We need to know where the specifications are and where the aditional details are.

If they are all in the same place then

is just fine, otherwise

"Specifications are included in the file 'xyz', see 'abc' for additional details"

would be more accurate where there are two separate subjects

I use electronic translators and am used to rather oddly constructed sentences. I am happy as long as the general meaning is understood !
