tõlgitav

Tõlgitav is an Estonian adjective meaning translatable or able to be translated. It describes text, content, or material that can be translated into other languages. The word is formed from the verb tõlkima “to translate” with the derivational suffix -tav, which yields a present passive participle–like adjective indicating possibility or suitability. The past participle form of the same verb is tõlgitud, meaning translated.

Usage of tõlgitav is most common before a noun, such as tõlgitav tekst (a text that can be translated) or tõlgitav dokument (a document that can be translated). It can also be used predicatively: See tekst on tõlgitav inglise keelde (This text is translatable into English). In professional contexts such as publishing and software localization, tõlgitav is a standard label for content that requires translation or localization.
