Are you looking for a translation company Malaysia? If you are a Malaysian company hoping to have the competitive edge in the global market, you may want to look for a translation company in Malaysia.  No doubt your product has all the unique features and can sell on its own. However, there are other stages in the business of selling a product that can certainly use the services of a translation company in Malaysia.

From the start, a translation company in Malaysia can assist in translating your company formation documents should you wish to create a presence in the foreign market. Even if you choose to sell your product through an agent instead, you may wish to seek a translation company in Malaysia to maintain the global branding of your product in the localised translated product name.

Very often, we tend to neglect the cultural nuances in localising our marketing material which a translation company in Malaysia can detect and correct.  Successful exporting companies know only too well the importance of a translation company in Malaysia. The potential of the market with our major trading partners, such as China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Arabic & English speaking world, requires every exporter to seriously think about engaging a translation company in Malaysia. With the high customer traffic in websites, many are already partnering with a translation company in Malaysia that can provide SEO services.

Which brings us to the point of “What is the right translation company in Malaysia to choose?”. Definitely, we need to know our needs before we select the translation company in Malaysia. A basic translation need that is easily satisfied by a translation company in Malaysia, is usually translating a language into another in the customer specified media.  

However, as an exporting Malaysian company grows, its translation needs grow too. Therefore, it is often recommended to look for an established translation company in Malaysia that has a wide range of related translation services, such as Interpretation, Website localisation, Certification, Multilingual Typesetting & DTP, Dubbing, Voiceover, Subtitling, and SEO services. As quality and quick delivery is often a concern, I would usually engage an established translation company in Malaysia, a few of which dates as far back as 1995. A few translation companies in Malaysia do offer wide range of languages. A translation company in Malaysia even offers as many as 80 languages and unique language pairs such as Japanese and Malay or Burmese.

Well, come to think about it, if we wish to go global, it does make sense to have a global translation company in Malaysia to partner with.

Turkish Translation Services in Malaysia

Why even consider Turkish Translation Services in Malaysia? The global economic power shift from US and OECD countries to rapidly growing and populous non-OECD countries, such as Turkey has created the need for TurkishTranslation Services in Malaysia to assist business expansion from Malaysia into Turkey.

Why Turkey? There are other specific advantages in trading with Turkey which has increased the demand for Turkish Translation Services in Malaysia? Turkey and Malaysia shares historical positive ties which sets the base for being good trading partners. It dates as far back as 1890 from the strong relations between the Ottoman Empire and Malay Sultanate of Johor. Another advantage is that majority of Turks share a common religion with Malaysia as well. At least since 1995, Turkish Translation Services in Malaysia has been provided by a global translation company to support Malaysian Halal products to gain entry into Turkey and other Islamic countries.

In my opinion, the recent main drive comes from Malaysia’s efforts to form trade relations with Turkey, giving rise to needs for further Turkish Translation Services in Malaysia. The Malaysian government has made it easier for Malaysian companies to trade with Turkey by establishing the:

a)       Malaysia-Turkey Free Trade Agreement (MTFTA) in Angkara, 2010;

b)      Strategic Framework Agreement and Free Trade Agreement;

c)       Abolishment of visa requirements

d)      Co-operations in other trade and investment (especially linkages in the Islamic financial industry)

How would the MTFTA affect the need for Turkish Translation Services in Malaysia? The MTFT, which was signed on 17 April 2014, will provide Malaysian businessman easy market access into Turkey for various goods ranging from electronic and electrical products, chemicals, textiles, machinery, plastic, rubber products, selected fisheries and tropical fruits, wood and wood products, selected automotive parts to ships and boats. Further agreements such as the Strategic Framework Agreement and co-operation in the Islamic financial industry will create more opportunities for Malaysian banks to gain entry too. Hence, there will be more needs for Turkish Translation Services in Malaysia.

With easier market access, Malaysian companies are seriously looking into Turkey’s intense market of 75 million people as well as Turkish Translation Services in Malaysia. How can Turkish Translation Services in Malaysia assist companies to gain entry into Turkey’s market? Well, Turkish Translation Services in Malaysia can assist companies in translating market research, company profiles, brochures to introduce products to the Turks. An established provider for Turkish Translation Services in Malaysia can translate, localize and optimize your website to directly connect your products to the Turkish people.

Turkey is also currently looking towards Malaysia to become one of its trading partner in the ASEAN region. With this main focus, the cultures and languages as well as trade relations with these ASEAN countries can be bridged with the help of an established global provider for Turkish Translation Services in Malaysia who can handle both country partners’ needs.

With the above advantages for a Malaysian company to trade in Turkey, shouldn’t a Malaysian businessman invest in some time and resources, such as Turkish translation Services in Malaysia and explore the possible opportunities that might be in Turkey?

Indonesian Translation Service

My encounter with Indonesian Translation Services providers while working as a company secretary in an international company in Malaysia has given me some valuable insights into Indonesia. As one can imagine, company formation in Indonesia can be quite challenging unless there is a reliable Indonesian Translation Services provider who can assist you through the entire process.

In my opinion, a really good Indonesian Translation Services provider is often your right hand man. Our Indonesian Translation Services company has been assisting us to minimise mistakes or omission in our submissions.  As all our company secretarial documents were clearly translated by our Indonesian Translation Services, the registration of our representative office went smoothly. Hence, it was definitely worthwhile hiring an Indonesian Translation Services provider rather than an agent whom you may have to “go with the flow” and hope for the best outcome.

Apart from company secretarial work, we continue to engage our trusted Indonesian Translation Services company in translating other documents. As most parent company, we are concern with “over” transferring of the power of attorney. With the help of our lawyers and our Indonesian Translation Services company, we were able to ensure that just enough authorities were delegated to allow trading and marketing of our products.

Being Malaysians, we thought it would be easier to market our products to Indonesians. But we soon realise that it is not so easy. Choosing the right Indonesian Translation Services provider who can take into account the cultural aspect of Indonesia’s very diverse culture wasn’t easy.

Finding a proficient Indonesian and English translator isn’t easy as well. The reason is that the majority of the people in Indonesia are Javanese (and proudly speak it as First language and Bahasa Indonesia as second) and the rest are a mixture of variety of Indonesian languages.

Why on earth do we have to translate from English to Indonesian for most documents? Well, for political reasons, the government has made Bahasa Indonesia the official language and requires all advertising, media and official communications to be in Bahasa Indonesia. Seeing that only the privileged few Bahasa Indonesia and English educated people are able to be good Indonesian Translation Services providers; and after having a few poor quality translations, I finally went back to my original Indonesian Translation Services company.

It turned out to be better than expected. Being a global language provider, the Indonesian Translation Services company has a large pool of native Indonesian translators who were proficient in English and experts in a wide variety of fields including marketing, law, banking and human resources. Our marketing website and materials were professionally done by our trusted Indonesian Translation Services company pitched with the intended message to the masses. My company was very pleased and has since continued to work with them.

And do you know what is the best part about our reliable Indonesian Translation Services company? They gave better service and didn’t charge us more than the IndonesianTranslation Services providers who had provided us with unsatisfactory quality and delivery time!

Japanese Translation Services

As a Marketing Manager, promoting retail products to the Japanese, I often look for Japanese translation services providers for my collaterals.  Over the years, I have come to know more about getting a good Japanese translation services provider as mention below.

My first assignment was to get “anyone who can provide good Japanese translation services”, said my boss. It sounded easy…but it was a real challenge to find such a person. I finally found a Chinese who said he could do Japanese translation services and convinced me that Japanese and Chinese were similar. Really? I later learnt that wasn’t entirely true at all. Although, the Japanese language uses Chinese characters, Japanese has different sets of grammar rules e.g. there are many types of conjugations for different types of verbs. As you would have guessed, the Japanese translation services were of poor quality and sounded unnatural to my Japanese customers.

For the following assignment, I thought I was better prepared. This time, I engaged a native to provide the Japanese translation services. That was also a disaster, he hadn’t the slightest clue as to what I wanted! After going through several Japanese translation services provider, I observed that most Japanese are not sufficiently proficient in English. This is simply because very few Japanese speak languages other than Japanese, even up to today! So, I decided to engage the professional Japanese translation services company. It was a relieved to hear from my counterpart in Japan that the Japanese translation services were well provided. He was also kind to add a few comments to help me understand why.

Apparently, the excellent quality of the Japanese translation services seems to suggest that thoughtful considerations were taken to include the context of Japanese culture in providing the Japanese translation services. I was also pleased to hear that the translation was flawless and the intended message was well executed by the Japanese translation services provider.

As the volume of work increased with our expanded customer base and widen marketing campaigns we continued to use our trusted Japanese translation services company in Malaysia. Here are some of the reasons.

Only a well established translation services company in Malaysia provide better Japanese translation services because they:

1)      have more experienced & English proficient Japanese translators

2)      have a larger pool of native Japanese translators

3)      have proofreaders and editors who are able to minimise translation errors

4)      can handle larger volumes of work

5)      can deliver express jobs

6)      can do other language pairs other than with English (including Japanese to Malay translation)

Engaging a Japanesetranslation services provider was a painful learning process for me and I hope that no one would have to go through the same situation that I had to.

Chinese Translation Services in Malaysia

“Face” (“Mianzi” or 面子)is often a prized commodity and soft power within the Chinese community. Unfortunately, many translators, do not take it into account when providing Chinese translation Services. 

About ten years ago, we were asked to provide English to Chinese translation Services to translate an elaborate University Brochure for recruiting students from China. All went well until the words “boxer rebellion” was mentioned in the original English version. Being an experienced Chinese translation Services provider, who has served the Chinese market for a long time, we decided to translate the historical event with a more politically correct phrase, which was “boxer revolution”. As part of providing our Chinese translation Services, we explained to our clients the Chinese readers regard for the event as a revolution and referred the boxers as freedom fighters. The brochure was so well received that the student enrolment from China increased dramatically.

Depending on the nature of the document, other factors such as appropriate sentence structures, local Chinese terms and readers’ hierarchical status needs to be considered for English to Chinese translation Services to be properly provided.For political reasons, Chinese translation Services providers who wish to align the translation to readers in China would normally use simplified Chinese. Taiwanese publishers set themselves apart from the Chinese in China by continuing to write in Traditional Chinese characters.

In every scenario, the backdrop behind every English to Chinese translation Services that we provide is often focused on maintaining positive relationship (“Guanxi” or关系)between the writer and his or her readers.

How about Chinese translation Services which requires us to translate from Chinese to English? Yes, the reverse bring as different set of challenges. Normally, a Chinese character can exist in different forms and transforms into a verb, noun, adjective and others, according to the context it’s used. Therefore, the key to providing a good Chinese translation Services into the target English language is to understand what the writer is trying to say. 

Very often, Chinese translation Services a provider is caught up with the accuracy of the details. This often creates inconsistencies and illogical statements in the translation provided by the Chinese translation Services provider. 

Another possible mistake that a Chinese translation Services provider makes, is not taking into account common English terms and names while translating. It is important for every Chinese translation Services provider to consciously display common phrases, nouns and appropriate adjectives to allow readers to “digest” the message easily.

Although the above points may not bring to light all of the issues that a Chinese translation Services provider may face, but it does give some tips to those who wish to engage a Chinesetranslation Services provider.
