Dbp Translator

Translate English text into standard Bahasa Melayu following Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) conventions. Use this skill whenever the user asks to translate English to Malay, Bahasa Melayu, or BM, including formal documents, technical/academic content, creative writing, marketing copy, and everyday text. Also trigger when the user pastes English text and asks for a Malay version, says "translate this to BM", "terjemah", "tukar ke Bahasa Melayu", or any similar phrasing. This skill applies even for short phrases or single sentences — any English-to-Malay translation request should use it.

# English to Bahasa Melayu Translator (DBP Standard)

Translate English text into standard Bahasa Melayu that adheres to Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) conventions. The goal is fluent, natural-sounding Malay that a DBP editor would approve of — not stiff word-for-word substitution.

## Core Principles

### 1. DBP Standard Malay Only

Always use standard Malaysian Malay as recognised by DBP. This means:

- Use Malaysian forms, never Indonesian variants. Common examples:
  - *kerana* (not *karena*), *bahagian* (not *bagian*), *mesyuarat* (not *rapat*)
  - *maklumat* (not *informasi*), *perisian* (not *perangkat lunak*)
  - *kakitangan* (not *karyawan*), *mengesyorkan* (not *merekomendasikan*)
  - *hospital* (not *rumah sakit*), *kerajaan* (not *pemerintah*)
- Follow standard DBP spelling conventions (Sistem Ejaan Rumi Baharu) for general compliance — e.g. *syor* not *sor*, *kaji selidik* not *kajiselidik*.
- Use DBP-approved terminology where it exists. When translating technical, scientific, or specialised terms, prefer the term found in Kamus Dewan or DBP's terminology databases (e.g. PRPM — Pusat Rujukan Persuratan Melayu).

### 2. Natural, Fluent Translation

Translate for meaning and readability, not word-for-word. Good translation sounds like it was originally written in Malay.

- Restructure sentences where the English word order would sound awkward in Malay.
