Professional and Affordable Malay Translation Services

With an estimated total of 200 to 250 million speakers, Malay is one of the most widely spoken languages on the planet, even though it only has 77 million native speakers. This pluricentric Austronesian language, spoken in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Brunei, features two distinct standardized forms—Indonesian and Malaysian—that act as the lingua francas for Indonesia and Malaysia, respectively.

Singapore is famous for its strong economic development in Southeast Asia, but Indonesia and Malaysia are strong players in the regional market as well. Indonesia has been identified as one of the “Next Eleven” countries poised to develop into big players on the international economic stage, and Malaysia has similarly seen its economy expand rapidly over the past two decades. Both are promising markets for corporate expansion, and both contain myriad companies eying the international market. At ProofreadingServices.com, we hold the key to both: professional Malay translation services.

Trust Malay Translation Experts for the Highest-Quality Translations

As an Austronesian language, Malay differs significantly from English. It employs heavy use of affixes—whether prefixes, suffixes, or circumfixes—and reduplication to form new words. At first glance, Malay may seem grammatically simple—no gender, no plural, and no verbal inflections for person or even tense. However, verbs do inflect extensively for voice, aspect, and mood.

Malay doesn’t have grammatical subjects like English does—instead, it uses agent constructions. The most common word order is OVA, or object-verb-agent, which can be confusing for English speakers used to SVO, or subject-verb-object. Malay’s voice system includes “agent focus” and “patient focus” voices, often erroneously dubbed “active” and “passive” despite deep structural differences. Malay’s complicated nature means Malay translation should be left to the foremost experts, like the Malay translators on our team, who have amassed years of experience. If you want high-quality Malay translations, we’re your go-to team.
