We have the flexibility and expertise to adapt to your individual requirements.

Highly-qualified Indonesian translation agency – saving costs with cutting-edge translation technology

ConText® translators reuse previously verified sentences while also ensuring that any client terminology lists are applied consistently throughout the translation with the aid of state-of-the-art translation technology (CAT tools as well as translation memory and data mining technology).

This keeps the language style consistent in all Indonesian translations from ConText®. Our databases store predefined terminology lists as well as comments and corrections to be included in all Indonesian translations.

Transcreation – localising the message behind your brand

Brands vie for attention in reaching the target audience. Imagine you have recently run a successful sales campaign in Indonesia, and you would like to repeat that for other markets. It usually takes good transcreation to carry your message out to consumers in all the world’s markets.

Advertising messages often contain a subtext that needs to be decoded correctly by the audience in the target market. The art of transcreation involves adapting the message your brand conveys while keeping your brand identity intact in every local market. Translators often take a more liberal and creative approach to this kind of job, as the texts – and visuals in many cases – need to be adapted for your message to hit the mark in an intercultural context.

Transcreation plays an essential role in successful intercultural advertising, communication and product marketing, as it ensures that the message is conveyed as intended to the target audience in each market.

The Indonesian language – characteristics and spread

Malay or Indonesian – known as Bahasa Melayu or Bahasa Indonesia, respectively – is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world at around 200 million speakers, albeit only as a second language in most cases. Malay/Indonesian is a lingua franca used mainly in the geographical area of Malaysia and Indonesia, and is also the official language of the State of Malaysia and the Republic of Indonesia under their respective language names. Indonesia in particular has hundreds of regional languages, some of which only have a few hundred speakers, and some of these languages are very different from Indonesian/Malay. The two languages are considered as a single language, but there are slight differences.

Bahasa Melayu is the official language of Malaysia (where it is also known as Bahasa Malaysia), Singapore, and Brunei; Around 7.2 million of the twelve million speakers on the peninsula use Malay as their first language, and 4.8 million use it as their second language. There are also large Malay-speaking communities in Myanmar, Hong Kong and the USA.

Bahasa Indonesia is the official language of Indonesia, and is spoken by about 162 million people. The 21 million that use Indonesian as their first language mostly live in Java, and 141 million use it as their second language or lingua franca. The language is also used in Saudi Arabia, Singapore, the Netherlands, and USA.
