Malay To English Translation

Over the years, Malay-speaking countries Indonesia and Malaysia have become key players in their ASEAN's automotive industry. Indonesia is considered the second-largest automotive industry in Southeast Asia and the 17th largest automotive producer globally. 

 

Also, most Malay-speaking countries have seen an increase in natural and agricultural resources exports, such as rubber, palm oil, cocoa, coffee, and spices, as they are a part of the G20 and other international economic organizations. It has caused many business owners and traders to seek Malay to English translation services to comply with requirements to trade with foreign markets who are members of these economic organizations.

 

With international trade comes the problem of language barriers and issues of compliance with the foreign markets policies. Tomedes assists companies in overcoming these issues by putting our customers at the heart of our philosophy through our same-day delivery of real-time translation. Our 98% client satisfaction rate and the thousands of businesses that return for our services show it.

The Importance of Malay Translation Services

Malaysia is a very modern market that is globally networked and has world-wide trade partnerships with countries all over Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas. Situated on the Strait of Malacca, Malaysia has a long history of economic commerce due to global shipping routes. For this reason, there has never been a better time to connect with consumers and producers in this thriving ASEAN economy. 

 

Furthermore, the Malay language has many similarities with Bahasa Indonesia, which means that once you tap into the market resources of Malaysia, branching out into Indonesia is even easier. Tomedes has an expanding roster of interpreters of 120 languages translating between over 950 language pairs. If you need Malay, English, Mandarin or French translation, you can count on us.

Trivia About Malay

At first glance, written Malaysian, using the Roman alphabet, may seem to have simple grammar and sentence structure. However translating Malay is not necessarily easy. Bahasa Malay includes many loan words from a wide array of languages, such as Sanskrit, Tamil, Hindustani, Persian, Portuguese, Dutch, Sinitic languages, Arabic and more recently, English. 


Further complicating matters is that some Malaysian may be written in the Arabic script, called Jawi. While the Romanized alphabet is the most common for formal and informal purposes, Malaysia is a predominantly Muslim country, so from time to time our clients have asked us for a Malay interpreter familiar with the Arabic alphabet as well.

Something Unique About the History of Malay

Malay is a language that comes from the Austronesian family, spoken by over 380 million people or nearly 5% of the world’s population. Austronesian languages are spoken from the Pacific islands all the way across Maritime Southeast Asia, including the Philippines and even as far as Madagascar.

 

This diverse language family is also spoken by some continental SE Asians not only in Malaysia but also Southern Thailand, as well as being the original language root of Taiwan native languages before the arrival of Chinese.

What Else Makes Malay So Special?

Malay does not make use of grammatical gender, and it only has a few examples of neutral gender, so this is why we always take care with our translation services from Malay into English.

 

In Malay the same word is used for ‘he’ and ‘she’, dia, or ‘his’ and ‘her’, which is dia punya. Furthermore, in Malay verbs are not inflected for person or number, there is no grammatical plural, and verbs are not marked for tense.

 

As mentioned previously, due to the many languages contributing loan words to Malay, what simplicity is inherent to the language’s verbal grammar is made up for in sheer complexity of vocabulary definitions.

Commonly Translated Malay Phrases

Readers familiar with English or another European language might be able to recognize some of the words in these phrases. Likewise, the language’s Arabic vocabulary might also seem prominent. Other words will likely be very foreign unless one has a rich background of native familiarity with Bahasa Malay, like our professional translators:

 

Selamat pagi - “Good Morning.”

 

Selamat Tengahari - “Good Afternoon.”

 

Aphakabar? - “How are you?”

 

Terima kasih - “Thank you.”

 

Nama saya... - “My name is ...”

 

Boleh awak balakang saya menu berbahasa Inggeris? - “Can you bring me the menu in 

English?”

 

Kereta api ini akan tiba di stesen destinasi pada 2 petang. - “The train will arrive at the station at 2pm.”
