解説
When translating “その目的” and similar expression, in technical writing it’s safest to avoid the use of terms such as “its”, “whose”, “their”, etc., which convey a more casual tone. In this case, expressions “an object thereof”, “the component therefor”, etc., are preferable and convey a more technical tone.
