Translate

Jalaran Translate converts text between English and Indonesian across general, academic, technical and business registers, running on Jalaran’s own hardware rather than a third-party API.

Who Translate is for

For anyone translating material they are not allowed to paste into a public translation service — unpublished research, client documents, anything under a confidentiality agreement. That constraint is the reason this exists.

What Translate does

Translate runs on self-hosted inference, so unpublished work does not pass through a commercial translation service on its way to being readable. It offers four domain modes because register genuinely matters: academic Indonesian and business Indonesian differ in ways a general-purpose translator flattens, and technical text needs terms left alone rather than helpfully translated. Both directions are supported.

English to Indonesian and Indonesian to English
General, academic, technical and business domains
No third-party translation API in the path
Domain-aware handling of technical terms

How Translate works

Pick the direction
English to Indonesian or the reverse. Both are first-class.
Choose the domain
General, academic, technical or business. Register is not decoration — it changes word choice substantially.
Translate locally
Inference runs on Jalaran’s own hardware, so the text is not sent to a translation vendor.
Review the output
Machine translation always needs a read-through, particularly on anything going to a client or an examiner.

What Translate does not do

Two languages only — English and Indonesian. This is machine translation and needs review before anything goes to a client or an examiner; it handles idiom and cultural nuance imperfectly, and a very long document is better translated in sections. It is not a certified translation service, so anything requiring legal certification needs a sworn translator.

Common questions

Is my text sent to Google Translate or DeepL?

No. Translation runs on Jalaran’s own hardware. That is the whole reason to use it for unpublished research or client material.

Which languages does it support?

English and Indonesian, in both directions. It is deliberately narrow rather than shallow across many languages.

Can I use it for official documents?

Not for anything needing certification. Legal and official translations require a sworn translator; this is machine translation and should be reviewed before use.
