Malay to English Translation Services
Malay documents often rely on concise morphological forms, context-dependent politeness markers and precise administrative terminology. Converting Malay into clear, professionally calibrated English for Hong Kong employers and compliance teams requires careful expansion of compressed phrases, consistent term mapping and register adjustment so that contractual and personnel records read unambiguously for English-language reviewers.
Malay to English Translation Services in Hong Kong
Malay (Bahasa Melayu) to English translations are frequently required when Malay-language documents need formal review by Hong Kong organisations. Typical scenarios include candidates relocating from Malaysia or Brunei, seafarers joining Hong Kong-flagged vessels, and professionals seeking local recognition—documents such as employment contracts, police clearance certificates and service records commonly prompt a certified English version for assessment.
At FLC we deliver Malay→English translations with attention to terminology, honorifics, and date/location conventions, ensuring legal and employment meanings are preserved. Translations are prepared to align with the receiving party’s requirements and, where requested, issued in a certified format. To proceed, request a quote, send documents or confirm specific authority instructions.

FAQ
What types of Malay-language documents do you translate into English?
We translate a focused range of Malay-language documents into English for Hong Kong submissions — for example, birth and marriage certificates (Surat Beranak, Sijil Perkahwinan), MyKad / identity documents, employment contracts issued in Malaysia or Brunei, academic transcripts and professional certificates. Each job is handled with reference to the issuing authority’s terminology and the intended reviewer’s requirements.
Can Malay to English translations be issued in a certified format?
Yes. When a receiving organisation requests certification, we deliver a professional certified Malay to English translation that includes a certification statement, company stamp and authorised signature. We align the final presentation with the submitting body's stated requirements; any additional verification steps will be confirmed up front.
How do you ensure accuracy when translating Malay into English?
Accuracy is achieved through a combination of native Malay linguists, subject-matter reviewers and formal quality checks. We preserve legal and administrative phrasing, maintain consistent terminology across multi-page files and format translations to mirror originals when required by employers, HR teams or admissions officers.
Are scanned copies sufficient for Malay to English translation?
A clear digital scan is usually sufficient for translation work. If a bank, visa office or university requires certified originals, notarisation or an original sighting, we will advise on the appropriate submission format before starting and confirm any additional steps.
How can I request a quote for Malay to English translation in Hong Kong?
Send your Malay-language documents by WhatsApp or email and state the intended use, the receiving organisation and your deadline. We will confirm scope, note any certification or formatting needs and provide a transparent quote so you can request a quote or send documents with confidence.
