Malay Translations (MS)

We provide the highest-quality Malay translation solutions for your businesses’ needs to access and succeed in the Malay-speaking market

Professional and Accurate Localization Solutions

With almost 200 million speakers worldwide, Malay translations are extremely crucial. The Malay language, in all its variations, is spoken as a first language across the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo and is widely used as a second language in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. Linguistic accuracy, in-depth cultural understanding, subject matter expertise, and localization best practices are all necessary components in ensuring success for any product or service entering the local market. Additionally, high-quality, consistent localization solutions for the Malay language requires advanced AI translation technology combined with native, in-country linguists for a quick turnaround time.

Malay Dialects

As one of the most ethnically and culturally diverse populations, there are numerous variations of Malay. As a national language, the Malay language (also known as Bahasa Nasional or Bahasa Kebangsaan) has multiple names depending on the country. Bahasa means ‘language’ and is used to refer to the variations, for example, Bahasa Melayu or the Malay language (Singapore and Brunei), Bahasa Malaysia (Malaysia), Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesia). Both Bahasa Melayu and Bahasa Indonesia are two standardized variations of Malay. Even though these variations are mutually intelligible, there are slight differences in vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, and spelling. With so many different cultural nuances that vary across regions, the importance of understanding local communities is critical for ensuring success in whatever product or service is entering the market.

Through our in-country, subject matter expert linguists, and with over 20 years of experience, CSOFT understands the importance of distinguishing different dialects of Malay depending on the project.
