teisaldatav

Teisaldatav is an Estonian adjective meaning that something can be translated or rendered into another language. It denotes the property of content, text, software interfaces, or data that can be translated without changing the underlying meaning. The term is formed from the verb teisaldama, with the suffix -atav to express capability.

In practice, teisaldatav content is important in localization, translation workflows, and multilingual publishing. Markers of teisaldatav content help teams distinguish elements that are suitable for translation from those that are fixed or require adaptation, such as brand names or graphics. The opposite form is teisaldamatu, meaning untranslatable or not readily translatable, and some items may require special handling.

In software and websites, designing for teisaldatav content often involves separating content from code, applying internationalization practices, and providing resources (strings, labels, messages) in multiple languages. Automated translation tools can process teisaldatav content, but human review remains common to ensure accuracy and proper context.
