we call it jumper in the UK but in japanese its seetaa セーター　which maybe translates more to sweater ? sorry if this is a bit too late of a reply

edited to say that i lowkey want to fill this out with the japanese translation then just realised that in my head i translate the japanese to british english anyway so all of the choices would just be what i would pick in british way
