Stick to English. They can pass it around to someone that understands it, but if you use an online translator and it botches the meaning, there's no hope. Also, don't confuse the situation with the "old rate", "old dates", etc: Keep it as simple as possible, and ask simply that they confirm that you have a confirmed reservation for X type of room for N people for Y dates and Z price. Leave the history out of it.
