Direction & readers
Specify Malay into Chinese or the reverse. Identify the Chinese script, country or region, intended readers and approver.
Malay work arrives through Southeast Asian distribution and platform localisation, frequently alongside Indonesian in the same release.
Start with Simplified Chinese; change the script and market in your inquiry.
YOUR TRANSLATION BRIEF
Choose the direction. Define the readers.
Every language pair has its own failure modes. These are the ones that decide whether a Malay deliverable is usable.
Shared roots make substitution tempting and wrong: vocabulary, spelling and official terminology diverge. Treating them as one target is a defect, not an efficiency.
Unlike most pairs here, Malay does not expand dramatically against Chinese, which makes fixed-width layouts less fragile.
Technical Malay borrows heavily. Deciding which terms stay in English and which are localised is a project-level decision that belongs in the termbase.
A clear brief connects source comprehension, target-language writing and specialist review. Confirm the team and review scope for your document type rather than relying on location or native-language status alone.
Confirm the Chinese script and market, approved terms, intended readers and the review level needed for release.
Clarify source-specific terms and references, then agree Malay target-language review and the delivery format. Native-speaker production or review follows the L3/L4 scope.
Every entry below is a project we have published, with the language direction as recorded on the case study itself.
