Malaysian courts operate in Bahasa Malaysia and English, while the Asian International Arbitration Centre (AIAC) attracts disputes involving parties from across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and beyond. The city's role as a key ASEAN hub generates diplomatic and intergovernmental interpreting demand across the region's ten working languages.
BeTranslated provides interpreting in Kuala Lumpur for Malaysian court proceedings, AIAC arbitration, Islamic finance sukuk and takaful negotiations, and ASEAN-related diplomatic meetings. Bahasa Malaysia, Mandarin, English, Tamil, and Arabic are our core pairs, with broader Southeast Asian language coverage available for ASEAN events and regional corporate meetings.

“Reliable, trustworthy and customer-centric This is the summation of Michael, Suzy and their team of translators. I have worked with them for over a year, and they have been my translation service for advertising in many European languages - from Swedish to German to Russian, and not always from English!
