Editelné

Editelné is a Czech-language adjective used in information technology and digital media to describe content, elements, or interfaces that can be modified by the user. In software documentation and user interfaces, an editelné field or object signals that the current user has permission to change its value, while non-editelné elements are typically labeled as read-only or locked.

Etymology and usage notes: Editelné derives from the Czech verb editovat (to edit) with the suffix -elné, forming an adjective that expresses capability or suitability. The standard, formal term in many contexts is editovatelné (editable). Editelné is a shorter or more casual variant that often appears in interface text, tooltips, or space-constrained labels.

Examples and context: A form may include editelné pole (an editable field), or a document with editelné metadata. In templates or content management systems, editelné placeholders indicate where content can be changed by users. Some style guides and documentation prefer the more formal term editovatelné, especially in official manuals or technical specifications.

Related forms: The corresponding noun is editovatelnost (editability); editelnost is less common and considered nonstandard in formal writing. The concept is closely related to permissions, access control, and user interface design, where readability and clarity of edit capabilities influence user interaction.
