English-Indonesian-Malay Translator | AI Trainer

I turn English courses, software, and video into Indonesian that reads like it was written here — and when someone else's Indonesian is already broken, I find exactly what broke. Top Rated, 100% Job Success, 40+ projects delivered. Most Indonesian translation on this platform is grammatically correct and still wrong. It picks the wrong formality level and quietly insults your users. It ignores that Indonesian runs 15-25% longer than English and breaks your buttons. It renders a training module word for word and leaves the learner more confused than before they started. That specific problem is what I do for a living. I am a native Indonesian speaker and a working English teacher for 13 years in front of a classroom, watching in real time which sentences land and which ones do not. That is not a footnote on my CV. It is the reason my Indonesian reads at the right level for the audience you are actually trying to reach. WHAT I DO • E-learning & training localization — courses, LMS content, onboarding, assessments, facilitator guides • App, website & software localization — UI strings, .json / .xliff / .po, length-safe copy that fits your buttons • LQA / translation audit — I review Indonesian another vendor delivered and send you a line-by-line error report with severity ratings • MTPE — DeepL and GPT output edited to publishable quality, at a fraction of the cost of full translation • Subtitling & captions — SRT/VTT, timing, reading-speed (CPS) compliance • Transcreation — marketing copy rebuilt for Indonesian readers, not translated at them • Live interpreting — EN↔ID on Zoom or Meet for meetings, interviews, training HOW I WORK 1. Free 15-minute scoping call. I tell you what the project actually needs. Sometimes that is an editor, not a translator, and I will say so. 2. Glossary and style guide first, approved by you, applied to every file. 3. Delivery in your working format — ready to drop into your build or LMS. 4. Two revision rounds included. I do not close a contract until you sign off. WHO I WORK BEST WITH EdTech companies and course creators entering Indonesia. SaaS and app teams whose Indonesian was localized cheaply and is now generating support tickets. Media and L&D teams with video that needs subtitles a native speaker will not laugh at. WHY I AM NOT THE CHEAPEST Because cheap Indonesian is not cheap. It gets rewritten by your users — in app store reviews, in support tickets, in churn. I would rather quote you honestly once than be the reason you pay for the same job twice. Send me your source file, or just 200 words of it. I will translate a sample free, tell you what the full project should cost, and be straight with you about whether you need me at all.
