Why Professional Malay Translation Requires Expertise?
The Written Language
Literal Translation
Malay doesn’t work well with a literal word-by-word translation. For example, repeating a word often signifies the plural form – “burung” means bird, and “burung-burung” means birds.
Culture-Specific Nuances
Malay is rich in cultural context. Some concepts simply don’t have a direct English equivalent. For example, while English speakers can commonly address others with a simple “you,” in Malay, translators must consider formality, number, dialect, and gender before choosing the correct term.
The Spoken Language
Vocabulary Differences
Although a speaker of Bahasa Melayu can understand someone who speaks Bahasa Indonesian, vocabulary differences can cause some confusion. Professional Malay translators have to be careful with these variations and adjust their translations accordingly while having in mind the client’s target audience and tone of voice.
