Tech/Engineering - Patents / Japanese verb translation causative transitive
Japanese term or phrase: "表示させる"
Hello,

When translating a word like "表示させる" in a technical document such as a patent, should it always be in the causative (X makes/causes Y to display Z)? Stated differently, do Japanese native speakers sometimes use the causative simply to stress a verb's transitive aspect, so that "to display" would suffice?

Best regards,
