: Definitely "in", NOT "with" or "on". You can use "with" if you say "with regard to this"

Robert Forstag
: It would definitely not be translated as "with this regard" under any circumstances.

: Jose, Robert is correct. It doesn't matter if you're not a native English speaker - the point is that "with this regard" is grammatically incorrect. Perhaps you were thinking of "with regard to".
