When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations

For X to do X
Just as the previous part of the sentence that you wrote :)
Another option: in order for X to do X

I did a copy/paste, so my option also has the mispelling.

: Oh no, it's not (panto style). The link describes "endure", yes, but "endure time" is a howler, sorry.

Robert Carter
: Neil is right. When "endure" has an object, it means "withstand" or "tolerate", not "last", so your construction "endure time" sounds like "to tolerate time" rather than "to last over time". "Endure through/over time" would be idiomatic usage here.

: "Endure time" is wrong, but that wasn't the question.

Phrases like "built to last" or "lasting through time" express the notion of "perdurar en tiempo".

NB: IMHO, the first comma (as in Muriel's suggestion) is optional:
"It is important to understand that, for...".

PS: Using some form of the word "endure" is not entirely unfeasible, however to do it correctly the expression used would need to be something like "endure over/through time"... And I would still find it rather clunky.

I wasn't going to bother posting at all, but I couldn't let "endure time" slip past uncontested.
