Bahasa Indonesian, Classical Malay, or Standard Malay? Our expert translators understand that these three terms refer to the same language, the lingua franca of the Malaccan royal courts, and a major trading language in the Philippines. We also understand the subtle differences between Bahasa Indonesian, Market Malay, Brunei Malay, and Kedah Malay. Perhaps most importantly of all, our mother-tongue Bahasa Indonesian speakers are steeped in the culture and history of the 17,000 islands that make up the Indonesian country. While its ancestral forms were heavily influenced first by English and then Dutch, the Indonesian language was born from a nationalist movement that quickly removed loanwords from the vocabulary—creating a lexicon that is as proudly political as it is functional. Our first-hand knowledge of the islands and their inhabitants ensures you’ll navigate the waters of cross-cultural communication without giving offence. Plus our detailed familiarity with Indonesian dialects and trading languages allows us to take colloquial communications and translate them for official purposes.
Our Bahasa Indonesian translators are fluent subject experts who have proven knowledge of your field. Whether you need scientific experts, historians, qualified legal translators, or marketing and PR specialists, we’ll match you with the perfect translator for your needs. Our engineers, broadcasting experts, charity communications professionals, and more are here to provide accurate translations that perfectly understand the jargon of your industry. In addition, we use the latest translation memory software to create a lexicon of commonly used words and phrases specific to your requirements. The software compiles frequent terms in a personalised database, and uses them to avoid duplications in future work. Meaning we only charge for new elements in the translation, and you never pay more than once for the translation of common phrases or standard blocks of text.

Absolute Translations - a superbly professional service
Absolute Translations are absolutely superb, I've used them multiple times in 2024. The service is phenomenal: incredibly quick, accurate, professional and personal from start to finish. The prices seem very reasonable to me but I've not benchmarked I do admit. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Quick turnaround and fantastic service
I want to thank Mattia and his team for being so brilliant. I needed some documents translated from English into French quickly, and they was able to meet the deadline. There were quite a few documents and required a professional level of translation with certification. At all times, Mattia was helpful, courteous and responsive. I definitely recommend this company.
