With the government efforts to enhance the quality of national business environment, Indonesia has jumped up 15 places in the index from 106 to 91. The GDP of Indonesia was worth 932.26 billion US dollars in 2016 and reached the growth rate of 5.01% in 2nd quarter of 2017 (Indonesia’s Statistics Agency).

Even though Indonesia has stable economy and investor-friendly policies, there are still some challenges that foreign businesses might face. Two of the biggest obstacles are language and culture. Bahasa Indonesia, which is a standardized register of Malay, is the official language of Indonesia. Besides the national language, there are more than 300 native languages spoken in Indonesia. A study found out that 17.4 percent of Indonesians are trilingual. According to University of Washington’s Asian Languages and Literature, just around 7 percent of total population speak Bahasa Indonesia as their mother tongue. Therefore, to be able to connect with Indonesian customers, you need perfect Indonesian translation to create mutual understanding and relatability.
