Disons qu'on n' est pas d'accord est une bonne traduction oui. D'autres possibilités (un peu plus formelles) :
- Accordons-nous sur notre désaccord.
- Soyons d'accord dans notre désaccord.
- Acceptons notre désaccord.

1Thanks for the answer. I omitted on purpose 'n' from n'est pas for sounding more native I thought:-)!– DimitrisJul 17, 2020 at 14:32

1Okay, then you're an one level up from me ;) You're right, it's more native-alike to omit the n in informal texts (texto, letters) it's not a problem.– MaëlJul 17, 2020 at 14:35

Thanks again for the comment. In speech as well:-)! I've heard even university professors systematically omitting 'n' even in less relaxed settings (meetings, lectures and the like).– DimitrisJul 17, 2020 at 14:38

1Actually, you can't omit the n in a speech as it sounds the same with or without (with the liaison). Is that what you meant?– MaëlJul 17, 2020 at 14:40

1@Dimitris That doesn't work well. Nous is formal so leads to using ne.– jlliagreJul 17, 2020 at 22:37
