How to Say “Edited” in Japanese

編集済み
The English phrase 'edited' can be translated into Japanese as 編集済み.
The term 編集済み is most commonly seen as a UI status indicator in software or social media to indicate that a post or profile has been modified.

Did you know?

  • In Japanese social media, users sometimes avoid the official 編集済み tag by deleting and reposting a message to hide the fact that they changed their words.
  • The word 編集 comes from 編, which originally referred to weaving or braiding together. To 'edit' in Japanese is conceptually similar to weaving different threads of information into a whole.
  • In Japanese software, you might see 編集 used for 'edit' in a menu, but for a document, the term 校閲 is used for the much more rigorous process of fact-checking and proofreading.
