Malay uses Latin while Japanese uses Japanese kana and kanji. Because the two do not share an alphabet, translated output cannot be sounded out from the original spelling — copy the result directly rather than trying to transcribe it.
Malay belongs to the Austronesian family while Japanese belongs to the Japonic 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.
Malay follows subject-verb-object (SVO) order while Japanese follows subject-object-verb (SOV). 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. Japanese: Approximately 128 million speakers, predominantly in Japan.
