English Translation
Could you ensure that the process runs smoothly?
Warum passt “sicherstellen” hier nicht?
“sicherstellen” is just a simple “to make sure”.
“gewährleisten” includes a level of responsibility and liability. “Die Gewähr” means “warranty”. So “gewährleisten” literally is “eine Gewähr leisten”, i.e. “to provide a warranty”.
Wiktionary also lists “to ensure”. Many people use it synonymously with “sicherstellen”, to make it sound more formal and official.
