For actions going to take place in the near future, Swedish will sometimes use the present tense whereas English would use the construction with "will".

That's good to know. Tack! Would it still make sense in this context to put it as "jag ska ringa dig.." or would that naturally imply that it will be some time before that call takes place?
English does that too sometimes. No, I can't meet you. I'm leaving for the airport at four o'clock
I believe that att lämna is a transitive verb which means it needs an object.
You can't just say Gästerna har lämnat. but something like Gästerna har lämnat restaurangen. should work.
That should be accepted I think. I used a translator and “har åkt” was translated to “have gone”. Did you report it as “my answer should have been accepted”?
