Translate English into Bahasa Melayu the way a KL native would say it - formal where contracts need it, santai where WhatsApp lives. Frontier AI tuned for Bahasa Malaysia, free for everyday use.
Malay is the national language of Malaysia and Brunei, one of the four official languages of Singapore, and is spoken across southern Thailand, East Timor and parts of Indonesia - around 80 million speakers in total. Pairing it with English unlocks KL boardrooms, Putrajaya government forms, halal export labelling and Langkawi tourism in one move. translator.im handles all of it in proper Bahasa Malaysia - not Indonesian - with the right register every time.
Quick reference for greetings, makan, shopping and asking for help around KL or Penang. Tap any row to copy it into the translator above.
Built on frontier translation models tuned for Bahasa Malaysia - not generic Malay-Indonesian soup. Halal-compliant terminology, government register, and santai chat all handled correctly.
Output uses Malaysian standard vocabulary and spelling - 'wang' not 'uang', 'kereta' not 'mobil', 'pejabat' not 'kantor'. Set Indonesian explicitly if that is what you need.
Switch to Voice mode and just talk - your browser's speech recognition (Chrome, Edge or Safari) types your English for you. Tap Listen to hear the Malay read aloud if your device has a Malay voice. Handy at a mamak stall or a Grab pickup point.
Upload, drop or paste a photo or screenshot of English menus, signs, packaging or forms. The text is recognised in your browser, you can tweak it, and the Malay translation comes back as editable text.
Paste up to 5,000 characters of English at a time - product pages for Malaysian customers - and get Malay back with your paragraph breaks in place.
Borang kerajaan, school assignments, halal certification text and corporate notices come out in the polite, formal Bahasa Malaysia that Putrajaya expects.
Open the page and start translating - no account, no download, no credit card. You get 10 free translations a day, and our privacy policy explains how requests are handled.
Whether you are closing a KL contract, filing a government form, exporting halal product or planning a Langkawi trip - translator.im fits the moment.
Translate contracts, MOUs and proposals between English and Bahasa Malaysia for Malaysian counterparties, Islamic banking partners and ASEAN suppliers.
Bahasa Melayu is the bahasa kebangsaan. Translate borang, surat rasmi and policy documents into the formal register Putrajaya and majlis bandaraya expect.
Order nasi lemak, ask for directions in Penang, and read signs in Langkawi or Borneo without freezing up. Image mode reads a photographed menu, and Listen says the Malay out loud.
Translate ingredient lists, halal certification notices and sermon excerpts into accurate, respectful Bahasa Malaysia for the Malaysian and Bruneian markets.
Three small habits that make AI translation feel hand-written by a KL local.
Malay and Indonesian look similar but diverge on hundreds of everyday words - 'wang' vs 'uang' (money), 'pejabat' vs 'kantor' (office), 'awak' vs 'anda/kamu' (you). Add 'translate to Bahasa Malaysia (KL standard)' if your audience is Malaysian or Bruneian.
For government letters, contracts and corporate notices, ask for 'formal Bahasa Malaysia' so you get the polite 'anda' and full forms. For WhatsApp and social posts, ask for 'santai' (casual) and you will get the contractions and 'awak' that real conversations use.
Default output is Rumi (Latin script), which covers 99% of modern use - newspapers, websites, contracts. If you need Jawi (the Arabic-derived script still used in Brunei, religious texts and some Malaysian signage), ask explicitly for 'in Jawi script'.
