Please take your shoes off before entering.

靴を脱いで上がって下さい。

Hmm, I wonder if that will come out normal on any machines not running Windows. I'm too lazy to boot up my Mac and check, though... I'm playing with the Windows IME again. It does such strange stuff to Japanese text, however.

That's nice. There still is no 'before' in the sentence. :P

I would translate it as "Please take off your shoes and come in" with the translation you give being the implication rather than the literal, needing more context than given to cause it to be the absolutely correct one.
