Indonesian – bahasa Indonesia – is one of the most widely-spoken languages in the world. 43 million people speak it as their first language. 156 million as a second. The Republic of Indonesia has the fourth largest population in the world too. This makes bahasa Indonesia translation and interpreting services much-requested by UK businesses. Because getting your materials translated into this language potentially opens up a huge new market for you products or services.

What’s more, getting your Indonesian translation handled by Asian Absolute means you will be matched with suitable native-language specialists.

Bahasa Indonesia is the official language of Indonesia. Most Indonesian people speak this common language – it is generally seen as a positive national unifier. But most also speak at least one other language, most commonly Javanese, Balinese or Sudanese. Asian Absolute can advise you as to which will be most suitable for your event if required. Or potentially provide Indonesian interpreters fluent in both or all of the languages you want to support.

Remember that in addition to providing simultaneous or consecutive verbal translation of what is being said, your interpreter will be able to help you with:

• Business or social etiquette
• Expected or suggested conduct
• Body language and mannerisms

You can get just the right specialists to provide language support for your forthcoming business meetings, negotiations, conferences, seminars, appointments, social engagements as well as for dubbing and voice-over work.

You need to know that you’re getting the best value for money from your Indonesian translation services. The best way to do that is to learn a little about the way we work:

• You send us all of the details about your project with a quick phone call or by filling in our enquiry form.
• You receive a clear quoted rate for the work you need – no obligation. You approve it.
• Your specialist translator or team of translators will then be selected. Asian Absolute has a huge global network of linguists to draw from. So you’ll always be paired with a native speaker of your target language with knowledge and/or experience in your industry.
• Translation Memories (TMs), glossaries and a style guide will be created for your project
• Your document will be localised into your target language, taking into account all local cultural norms and expectations to create a truly persuasive, natural message.
• A senior editor checks your document for accuracy and style.
• Professional Quality Assurance checks.
• The original translator gets a final say and your document is reviewed one last time.

It all happens in a secure environment where your information is protected. You then have the TMs, style guide and more stored for the next seven years too. Perfect when you need to produce future projects where consistency of terminology and phrasing are going to be key.
