Tips for Indonesian to English Translation

Tips when translating Indonesian to English

Pay attention to differences between the two languages

English and Indonesian belong to two different language families (Indo-European and Austronesian respectively) and have had very different histories. This means that there are quite a few differences in grammar and language structure between the two languages that need to be considered when you translate Indonesian to English.

For instance, verbs in Indonesian do not have the category of tense, while it is very prominent in the English language. For correct Indonesian to English translation of a sentence, a lot of attention must be paid to other tense markers (like adverbs of time) and the context. On the other hand, there is a complex system of verb affixes in Indonesian to render nuances of meaning that do not always have exact English equivalents.

Cultural differences are important

In Indonesian to English translation, it is important to understand the author’s intent as fully as possible. Without it, you won’t be able to render the meaning of a sentence, let alone a full text, in English correctly.

Understanding cultural differences is an important aspect of grasping the author’s intent. Indonesian values and traditions differ a lot from those of the western world, from appropriate small talk to religious values. To be able to translate Indonesian to English properly, it is important to get acquainted with Indonesian culture. As the Top translation agency in Asia Pacific, we are able to translate from popular Asian languages such as Indonesian, Vietnamese, Thai, Malay, Tamil, Chinese, Japanese and Korean to English to support your bueinss expansion in these Asian markets.

Do not use machine translation

Machine translation tools are constantly improving. They are also cheap and seem quite convenient. They may be enough when you need to translate a simple sentence into a very similar language (for instance, from Spanish to Italian). However, they are not enough for Indonesian to English translation, especially in the business context when an exact and careful translation is needed.

When you translate Indonesian to English using machine translation, a lot of meaning nuances can be lost. There is also a high risk of grammatically inaccurate translation.

Indonesian Language Background

One of the world’s top languages

Indonesian is the official language of Indonesia. It is a standardized variety of Malay, an Austronesian language that has been used as a lingua franca in the multilingual Indonesian archipelago for centuries.

Nowadays, with over 200 million speakers, Indonesian is the world’s tenth most widespread language. Indonesian is also one of the three Asian languages taught in Australia as part of their Languages Other Than English program. Altogether, this provides quite a high demand for Indonesian to English translation in the world today.

The importance of politeness

In general, in Asian languages and societies, greater emphasis is put on politeness than in the western world. Politeness terms cover a wide variety of social relationships and situations. It is true for the Indonesian language as well.

Some even call it one of the politest languages in the world. It is hard to determine whether it is true or not. But this is an important factor to remember when you translate Indonesian to English: it is essential to communicate the appropriate meaning and degree of politeness.

A young language

The Indonesian language didn’t exist until 1928 when it was standardized from Malay. It was finally elevated to the status of the official language with the Indonesian declaration of independence in 1945.

The standard version of Indonesian is used for official purposes only. There are a lot of regional colloquial varieties and regional Indonesian slang, which may have an influence on Indonesian to English translation as well. for which we provide Indonesian interpretation to communicateextract the right meaning.
