Professional English to Bahasa Melayu (Malaysia) Translator Needed

Descripción de la vacante

I am looking for a native Malaysian Malay (Bahasa Melayu) translator to translate English content intended for Muslim audiences in Malaysia.

The material consists of spiritual reflections, biblical messages, and faith-related topics, developed with sensitivity and respect for Islamic beliefs and cultural backgrounds.

Requirements:

Native proficiency in Malaysian Malay (Bahasa Melayu) and excellent understanding of English.

100% human translation. No AI or machine translation tools.

Use authentic Malaysian Malay, not Indonesian or overly formal, academic language.

Preserve the original meaning, intention, and tone without adding, omitting, or reinterpreting content.

Write in a natural, warm, and conversational style that feels familiar to Malaysian audiences.

Ensure the translation sounds like an original Malay text, particularly when heard aloud.

Preserve appropriate Islamic terminology, including Allah, Isa, Ramadan, iftar, sahur, and other culturally familiar expressions.

Respect the religious and cultural context while remaining faithful to the original message.

I am not looking for word-for-word translation. The goal is an accurate, culturally natural text that communicates the original message clearly without changing its meaning.

I value translation quality, accuracy, and natural fluency more than delivery speed.

I am interested in establishing a long-term professional collaboration for future projects.
