"In una parola, quello di cui avete bisogno è pazienza."

Translation: In one word, what you need is patience.

[jbrener]

It seems to me that in this example a direct literal translation works: "In a word, that of which you have need, is patience." .... rather stilted, and last century but nevertheless proper English.

[_Andiamo_]

Why is "In a word, patience is what you need " not a correct translation?

[ilAustiniano]

My translation (counted wrong) was "What you need to have here is patience." Would appreciate any advice on whether this is inaccurate.

Why did you add "here?"

[LindaNordin]

In one word, that which you have need of is patience. Why use all those words in Italian, if they are not accepted in the translation?
