oversat

Oversat is a Danish term meaning translated. It is the past participle of the verb oversætte (to translate) and is used as an adjective to describe content that has been translated from another language, typically into Danish. The word corresponds to the English adjective translated.

In Danish grammar, oversat functions as an adjective and agrees with the noun it modifies. Examples: en oversat tekst (a translated text); den oversatte tekst (the translated text); to oversatte tekster (two translated texts).

Common uses include publishing, library cataloging, film subtitling, and software localization. In bibliographic entries, oversat af followed by a name indicates the translator. The term is distinct from oversættelse (the act or process of translating) and oversætter (the translator).

Overall, oversat serves as the standard Danish descriptor for works that have undergone translation, framing discussions of translation quality, provenance, and accessibility across languages. See also translation, translator, localization, language, Danish language.
