Translation - Swedish-English - Av språket fordras rätt och slätt att det bär...

Hi Lulublue

Sorry it has taken so long before this translation gets evaluated.
In this sentence, 'the' sounds a bit strange. Could it be that this sentence is to be interpreted more in a general sense? In that case, could it be translated as follows?

Language simply needs to state what you think

or

The purpose of language is simply to state what you think

or (sounds a bit more convoluted in English)

It is simply required of (a) language to state what you think

Please let me know what you think
Thanks!

No reply, so I have edited and started a poll.

I don't think that 'to state' expresses the meaning of "bär fram'.

What should it be, in your opinion? 'To express' maybe?

In language it is simply required that it convey the meaning.

A more conventional and maybe even more accurate translation to 'Att det bär fram det man menar' would be 'that it conveys the meaning'.

Hi experts

The translator is very unresponsive
Do you agree with 'that it conveys the meaning'?
Thanks!

I agree with sais and Kleppy. 'conveys' is the best word in my opinion.
And Pia (sais) is an expert too.
