GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Swedish term or phrase:äger (context)

Art/Literary - Music / Opera periodical
Swedish term or phrase: äger (context)
"Tidskriften äger visserligen den grafiska formen, men även om jag lärt mig mycket under resans gång kan jag inte själv formge tidskriften, ty för detta krävs en unik kompetens."

Would for instance, "commands" work here? Some other word?

come
Explanation:
The word "äga" can have some unexpected meanings. But I think what they are saying here is that the journal is not in plain text, but comes in graphical format, which is why specialist skills are needed.

So my suggestion – ifThe journal comes in graphical form . . .

Manage


Explanation:
How about "manage"? I guess you've discarded "own" as not covering completely what they mean.

own


Explanation:
I would suggest "own" here, which I believe is the correct word in this context, referring to the subject of "graphic design ownership rights".
