Glossary entry (derived from question below)
Swedish term
åtgärda
This looked easy but I've come unstuck
Tydliga larm som är enkla att känna igen, tyda, och ***åtgärda***
I can't work out if it is 'set', 'reset' or even 'react to'
The context is of no help as it is just a list of unrelated selling points but it's for a medical device in a hospital.
Perhaps the Swedish word does not have an exact equivalent in English and can mean multiple things?
Thanks
