"Operationen är enkel, men viktig."

Translation: The operation is easy, but important.

[jhmelman]

What's wrong with the operation is simple, yet important?

[devalanteriel]

It's arguable either way. I'd accept it (so do report it and see what happens), but I can see a arguments against it, too.

Edit: Four months later, I am now a contributor and have added it. :)

Is the comma in the Swedish sentence required? Because it isn't in the English sentence.

[devalanteriel]

No, it's entirely optional.

[Yuki_Shiro]

Operation here also in a military sense?

[devalanteriel]

I suppose that would work, yes.

[Alex39472]

lätt vs enkel?

[devalanteriel]

In the sense of not difficult, they're synonymous.

Could you add 'straightforward' for enkel, because this is how a doctor is more likely to describe it ? As I didn't risk using it I don't think there is any other way than in the discussion that I can suggest adding it.
