An example is the following:

>   * 電気がついています。けしましょうか。
>   * いいえ、つけておいてください。
>

The question is, can I translate the last part as "Please, leave them turned
on", so that the whole translation is:

>   * The lights are on. Should I turn them off?
>   * No, please, leave them turned on.
>

How would you translate the phrase "Please leave them turned on"?

Thank you in advance!

つけておいてください　translation
(Since I cannot comment, I place my translation here)

I will translate like this

> No, please keep it on.

Because the implication is a habit in Japanese. I prefer **"keep it on"** for
shorter presentation.

OR

> No, please keep the light on.
