Client testimonials

Bahasa Indonesia is used in education, administration, on TV and the radio across Indonesia and you’ll find it in books and newspapers too. You won’t, however, find it in a very high proportion of normal daily conversation.
In the same way that spoken English doesn’t always line up with the written version, spoken Indonesian is different to the standard or formal register of Bahasa Indonesia. But in this case, that difference is dramatic.

This is because:

• Most Indonesians speak at least one of the 700 other local languages, such as Balinese, Sudanese or Javanese
• Many people combine their local tongue with Indonesian to form numerous vernacular variations
• Indonesian slang changes the language in terms of structure as well as vocabulary
• The capital, Jakarta, has its own special slang (influenced by Betawi Malay) which is portrayed prominently in all types of media

The language, however, serves a vital unifying role in a country which has a vast array of ethnic groups, a huge number of different local languages as well as more than 17 000 islands which form natural geographical boundaries.

We always call in a specialist in your field to translate your documents. This means the linguist carrying out your Bahasa Indonesia translation will always have experience and/or qualifications in your industry. They’ll know all of the terminology you use and employ it just like you do.
