Translating English to Indonesian: what to know
No Verb Conjugation in Indonesian
Indonesian verbs do not conjugate for tense, person, or number. Time is indicated through context or time markers like 'sudah' (already), 'akan' (will), or 'sedang' (currently). English 'I eat/ate/will eat/am eating' all translate using the same verb 'makan', with additional words showing when the action occurs. Avoid adding unnecessary tense markers when context makes timing clear.
Articles Don't Exist
Indonesian has no articles equivalent to English 'a', 'an', or 'the'. Definiteness is shown through context, demonstratives like 'ini' (this) or 'itu' (that), or word order. Don't try to translate every English article directly. 'The book' and 'a book' both become 'buku', unless you need 'buku ini' (this book) or 'sebuah buku' (one book, emphasizing singularity).
Affixes Change Word Meaning Significantly
Indonesian uses prefixes and suffixes extensively to modify meaning. The root 'ajar' (teach/learn) becomes 'belajar' (to study), 'mengajar' (to teach), 'pelajaran' (lesson), 'pengajaran' (teaching/instruction). English words may require different Indonesian affixes depending on whether they're verbs, nouns, or adjectives. Pay attention to these transformations rather than translating roots alone, as meaning shifts substantially.

What does the confidence band under the translation mean?
After each translation, a second AI check compares the original and the translation and shows a confidence band: High confidence, Review changes, or Meaning may have changed. It's a model estimate, not a guarantee — whatever the band says, double-check names, numbers and negations in the translation. The raw judge score appears as secondary detail in the “Why?” explanation, labeled as an estimate. The check processes your text and immediately discards it; only the score is kept.
