B2B corporate & personal certified documents
Japan is Malaysia’s 3rd largest trading partner. Translation needs flow in both directions.
Malay to Chinese (outbound) — Malaysian Chinese diaspora:
Malaysian Chinese nationals and permanent residents who emigrated to China or Taiwan — or whose family members remain there — frequently need Malaysian personal documents translated into Mandarin Chinese. Common needs include birth certificates for Chinese family registration, marriage certificates for spousal documentation, and academic certificates for Chinese university applications.
Chinese to Malay (inbound) — China / Taiwan nationals in Malaysia:
Chinese and Taiwanese nationals applying for Malaysian PR, MM2H visas, or employment permits require Chinese-language documents — marriage certificates, birth certificates, police clearances, academic transcripts — translated into Bahasa Melayu for JPN, Immigration, and Malaysian authority submissions.
Simplified vs Traditional? Mainland China and Singapore use Simplified Chinese (简体). Taiwan and Hong Kong use Traditional Chinese (繁體). We translate into both variants — confirm your destination before ordering.

Is English to Bahasa Melayu translation required for SSM company registration?
Yes. Under the Companies Act 2016 (Section 576), foreign-language documents submitted to SSM must be accompanied by a certified Bahasa Melayu translation. This applies to Memoranda and Articles of Association, board resolutions, shareholder agreements, and other constitutional documents submitted as part of company registration or branch registration.
What types of legal documents do you translate from English to Malay?
We translate all standard corporate and legal document types including contracts, shareholder agreements, employment contracts, board resolutions, NDAs, service agreements, franchise agreements, lease agreements, company policies, terms and conditions, and compliance submissions.
How is the translation priced?
Standard corporate translation (English to Bahasa Melayu) is RM0.40/word. Specialised legal translation is RM0.50/word. Urgent same-day translation is RM0.60/word. For multi-document projects, we provide a project-based quote with glossary management included.
Do you provide a glossary for multi-document projects?
Yes. For corporate clients with ongoing translation needs or large document portfolios, we develop and maintain a client-specific glossary of approved Malay terms for recurring legal and business vocabulary. This ensures consistency across all documents and reduces review time.
How long does it take to translate a corporate contract?
Turnaround depends on word count and complexity. A standard 10–15 page employment contract (2,000–3,000 words) can typically be delivered within 24–48 hours. Complex legal agreements or multi-document projects are scheduled on a project basis.
Are your translations accepted by Malaysian courts?
Yes. Our certified translations meet the requirements for document submission in Malaysian court proceedings under the Evidence Act 1950. We provide a signed certification statement identifying the translator and confirming accuracy and completeness.
People also ask
Is it compulsory to have company documents in Bahasa Melayu for SSM?
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.
Can foreign companies submit English contracts to Malaysian courts?
Malaysian courts conduct proceedings in Bahasa Melayu. English-language documents are accepted alongside certified Malay translations. Under the Evidence Act 1950, parties submitting foreign-language documents must provide certified translations into Bahasa Melayu. Legal practitioners handling cross-border disputes routinely request certified bilingual translations of contracts and correspondence.
What is the difference between certified and notarised translation for legal documents in Malaysia?
A certified translation includes a signed statement from the translator confirming accuracy and completeness. A notarised translation additionally involves a Malaysian notary public attesting to the translator’s identity and signature. For SSM submissions, certified translation is typically sufficient. For court proceedings and some regulatory submissions, notarisation may be required.
Do employment contracts in Malaysia need to be in Bahasa Melayu?
The Employment Act 1955 does not mandate that employment contracts be in Bahasa Melayu. 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.
Can Google Translate be used for SSM or court document submissions?
No. SSM and Malaysian courts require professionally certified translations. Machine-translated documents, including those produced by Google Translate or DeepL, are not accepted for official submissions. The Companies Act 2016 requires certified translations — meaning a signed statement by a qualified human translator confirming accuracy.
