Under the Companies Act 2016 (Section 576), documents submitted to SSM in a language other than Bahasa Melayu must be accompanied by a certified Malay translation. This applies to foreign-language constitutional documents, board resolutions, and shareholder agreements submitted as part of company registration, branch registration, or any statutory filing with SSM.

However, it is strongly recommended for employees whose working language is Bahasa Melayu, and some government-linked employers require Malay-language contracts as policy. Foreign multinationals operating in Malaysia commonly translate their standard employment contracts into Bahasa Melayu for their Malaysian workforce.
