Indonesian is the shared language of a country spread across thousands of islands, so an English to Indonesian translator works the same in Bali, Jakarta or Yogyakarta, and with coworkers anywhere in the archipelago.
Indonesian verbs never change for tense and nouns have no plural ending: time comes from words like sudah (already) and akan (will), and plurals from context or doubling, as in anak-anak (children). Formal written Indonesian also differs a lot from everyday speech. TapTranslate translates both ways, so you can read a reply and answer in Indonesian in the same chat.
Spoken by more than 200 million people across Indonesia, where it is the national language and most people learn it alongside a regional language such as Javanese or Sundanese.
Written in the Latin alphabet, left to right, with no accents and spelling that closely follows pronunciation.
Type or paste English and read it in Indonesian, or the other way around. Works online, and offline with a downloaded pack.
Speak in turns and hear each translation read aloud, when your iPhone supports Indonesian speech.
Point at printed Indonesian on a menu, a sign or a label and read it in English, drawn over the original.
Type in English in any app and send it in Indonesian with one tap.
Scan a letter or open a PDF and read every page translated, with the layout kept.
Everyday phrases and how to say them. TapTranslate translates anything else you need.

Written Indonesian uses saya, tidak and Anda, while daily speech in Jakarta uses aku, nggak and kamu. A formal translation is always polite; in a chat with friends you can loosen it.
Saya makan can mean I eat, I ate or I'm eating. When timing matters, say it in English with already, now or tomorrow, so the translation carries it as sudah, sekarang or besok.
Indonesians often address people as Bapak (sir) or Ibu (ma'am), shortened to Pak and Bu, instead of saying "you". It sounds warmer than Anda, so use it with drivers, shopkeepers and anyone older.
