English to Chinese translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Computers: Software / software
English term or phrase: in edition by
The context is just the following entry in a string file (I think it is for a small update of a big software package dealing with business process management):

Currently in edition by {0}.

{0} is a placeholder.

"Being edited by xxx" is the common English for "正由xxx编辑", so I am not quite sure whether this "in edition by" is a casual expression indicating "being edited by", or it has some special meaning by itself.

Thank you!

Explanation:
用介词+名词结构,可以说是英语语用在一大特征,如果能够用活介词,会使你的英文神采飞扬;而许多中国式英文,就是因为不会用介词所致。

非常感谢。也许是这个意思。这个项目比较乱,客户收了东西付了钱就不再管了,也没什么反馈。
