Island or mainland
Island Or Mainland, Ordering Penang Translation Works The Same
Penang people are proud of both sides of the channel, and our steps work the same on each. We keep no office on the island or the mainland. A family in Tanjung Bungah and an EHS team in Perai order the same way. Six habits keep things quick, whether you send one birth certificate or a full set of SOPs.

Hokkien Surnames Intact On Penang Translations Of Malaysian Records
Not every Penang order comes from a factory. Families in Air Itam or Seberang Jaya send birth, marriage and school papers for Australia, Singapore and universities abroad. Many carry Hokkien surnames such as Khoo, Ooi or Teoh, which must stay exactly as on the passport. These are Malaysian records we often see from Penang homes. Every card opens the full page for that record.

Two kinds of quote
Penang Translator Rates For Certificates, SDS And Factory Files
Penang orders come in two sizes, so we price them two ways. Certificates are priced per page, starting from the rate below. Factory files such as SDS, SOPs and handbooks are priced per word, with a glossary included. Every quote shows the seal, rush work and courier on their own lines. Nothing is added after you agree, and there is a free fix if the mistake is ours.
RM80
per page, starting price
Certificate translation starts from RM80 per page for one clear page, not a final price. Technical files are quoted per word once we see a sample page, and a notary seal is from RM70 per document.
Get my exact priceWhat decides your final price
Certificate Or Factory File
Certificates go by page. SDS, SOPs and manuals go by word count.
Number Of Worker Languages
Each extra language, like Burmese or Nepali, is priced on its own.
Technical Density
Chemical names, tolerances and medical terms need more care than plain letters.
Layout Work
Returning a file in its original Word or Excel layout may add a small fee.
Seal And Stamp Extras
ICA and some embassies want a notary seal, from RM70 per document.
Rush And Courier
Rush work costs extra. Courier to the island or the mainland is its own line.
In a hurry? Visa date or buyer audit next week? A short one-page certificate can often be emailed as a signed PDF the same day if sent early. Long factory files need planned time, and we tell you honestly if a deadline is too tight.
Check expressExtras, only when your office asks
| Notary public seal | ICA files, many embassies and some foreign degree checks | From RM70 per document |

Notes from the island
Penang Engineers, Patients And Malaysian Families Review Our Translations
Around the island and across the channel in Seberang Perai, customers sent us these sample notes. An EHS lead in Bayan Lepas needed SDS in two languages. A family in Jelutong needed a birth certificate for Australia. A patient's daughter needed hospital records for an insurer. Each order needed accuracy before speed. Here is how those jobs went.

Asked across Penang
Island And Mainland Malaysians Ask About Translation In Penang
Still not sure?
Send your question with the quote form. A translator replies, not a bot.
Ask your question
Can I Walk Into A Penang Shop To Hand In My Certificates?
No. We have no office or counter in Penang, on the island or the mainland. You upload photos online, and we send signed PDFs by email and paper copies by courier.
Our Penang Factory Needs SDS In Bahasa Malaysia. Is English Alone Enough?
Usually not. Malaysia's CLASS Regulations expect SDS and labels in both Bahasa Malaysia and English. We translate the English SDS into Malay and keep its layout. Your EHS team still confirms legal compliance.
Can A Penang Plant Get SOPs In Burmese, Nepali And Bengali In One Order?
Yes. We quote each language separately but run them all from one glossary. That way, every worker reads the same safety step, whatever their language.
Can A Translation Made In Penang Work For Australia's Home Affairs?
Home Affairs lets translations made outside Australia carry the translator's full name, address, phone number and qualifications. We put those details on every statement page. Check your own visa checklist, because some files ask for more.
A Patient Is Coming To A Penang Hospital From Indonesia. Can You Translate The Referral Letter?
Yes. We translate referral letters, lab results and discharge summaries between Indonesian, English and Malay. Drug names, doses and test values stay exactly as written. The treating doctor always has the final word on medical meaning.
My Penang Family Name Is Hokkien, Like Khoo Or Teoh. How Will You Spell It?
We copy the spelling on your passport or MyKad, letter for letter. We never turn a Hokkien surname into Mandarin pinyin unless the office asks. When two papers disagree, a brief note from the translator explains it.
Can A Penang Factory Share Drawings And Recipes Under An NDA Before You Quote?
Yes. Ask for it in your first message, and we sign before you upload any process document. Drawings and recipes then stay between your team and the translators on your file.
Does A Seberang Perai Address In Penang Wait Longer For Paper Copies?
Not by much. Your quote shows the expected courier day for your postcode, island or mainland. The signed PDF always reaches your inbox first, so you can upload it while the paper copy travels.
Can You Translate Penang Court Papers From Chinese Into Malay?
Yes, we translate Chinese agreements, letters and statements into Malay or English for your lawyer. We are not court-appointed translators, so your lawyer decides how to file them. Some judges ask for the court's own translation.
Can A Penang Customer See Two Prices, With And Without The Extra Seal?
Yes. We often quote both, so you can match what your office asks for. Australia and the UK usually need no seal, while ICA and many embassies do. Pick the option your checklist names.
