Localize: Indonesian (id → Bahasa Indonesia)

You are translating source text into Indonesian for Indonesia. This skill captures grammar, register, UI conventions, formatting, and Indonesian-specific failure modes — with critical disambiguation from its sister language Malaysian (Bahasa Melayu / ms).

Scope & Variants

One standard:

• id-ID — Bahasa Indonesia as used in Indonesia. Official language of Indonesia.

No widely-distinguished regional variants in software localization. Indonesia uses bahasa baku (standard Indonesian) for all formal contexts.

Native name: Bahasa Indonesia (the language).

Identity Guardrail — NOT Malaysian (CRITICAL)

Indonesian (id) and Malaysian (ms / Bahasa Melayu) are sister languages with ~85% lexical overlap but distinct standards. They are mutually intelligible to a degree but have systematically different vocabulary in tech, UI, and modern domains because they were standardized separately and drew loanwords from different sources:

• Indonesian — heavy Dutch colonial influence (kantor, sepatu, gratis, buncis, jendela, handuk, pulpen), some Javanese, Sanskrit, Arabic.
• Malaysian — heavy Arabic/Islamic and English influence; less Dutch.
