Is "sittbyte" a Swedish word?

[Raillife]

What does "sittbyte" mean in Swedish? Can it mean to change seats? Does it have any positive or negative connotations?

There is no commonly recognized word "sittbyte". If it was, it could well be "to change seats". Is there a space missing between "sitt" and "byte"? Byte could also be "prey" or "booty".

Thank you very much for your reply! I google translated the Japanese word for "seat change" into Swedish and it came up with "sittbyte" at the time I first posted. Based on your response the translation must have been wrong. I just google translated it again and now it says "byte av säte."

You sort of could use sittbyte, but it's colloquial.

I would say the neutral expression is "[att] byta säte" = "[to] change seats". Except that the Swedish expression has "seat" in singular and the English in plural.

Thank you as well for your response! I have a good idea now that sittbyte could mean to change seats but that it is not entirely correct Swedish.
