Malay and French are both written in Latin, so the translated output uses characters you already recognise. You can usually read the result aloud without transliteration, though spelling conventions and accented characters still differ.
Malay belongs to the Austronesian family while French belongs to the Indo-European family. With no shared ancestry there are few cognates to fall back on, so idioms and fixed expressions rarely map word-for-word. Short, literal sentences translate more accurately than figurative ones.
Both languages follow subject-verb-object (SVO) order, so clauses usually keep their shape during translation. Words tend to land in a similar position, which makes it easier to check a translation against the original even without fluency.
Malay: Approximately 290 million speakers, including those who speak Indonesian as a standardized form of Malay, making it one of the most spoken languages in the world. French: Approximately 80 million native speakers globally, with over 274 million people speaking French as either a first or second language.
