Malay and Iban 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.
Both Malay and Iban belong to the Austronesian language family. Related languages tend to share vocabulary roots and comparable sentence structure, which generally makes machine translation between them more reliable — though false friends, words that look alike but mean different things, are also more common between relatives.
Malay follows subject-verb-object (SVO) order while Iban follows verb-subject-object (VSO). The translator has to rebuild each sentence rather than substitute words in place, so the output will not line up word-for-word with your input. Splitting long sentences improves accuracy.
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. Iban: Approximately 1.4 million speakers, mainly in Sarawak, Malaysia.
