The use of the Indonesian language in a legal agreement has been stipulated in several Indonesian laws and regulations. Therefore, in addition to complying with the applicable laws, having an Indonesian language translation of an agreement is imperative to improve the local receptivity of the document.
Here are the regulations requiring compliance with the Indonesian language requirement:
According to the Construction Services Law, a construction work contract must be made in the Indonesian language. However, if the construction work contract is entered into with a foreign party, the contract will be made in the Indonesian language and English, in which case, the governing language must be the Indonesian language.
The Manpower Law also stipulates that in case of different interpretations between the Indonesian version and the foreign language version of an employment agreement, the terms in the Indonesian language will prevail.
Article 31 of the Language Law regulates the use of the Indonesian language in an agreement, in which the first paragraph stipulates that:
“The Indonesian Language must be used in a memorandum of understanding or agreement involving any state institution, government institution of the Republic of Indonesia, Indonesian private institution, or individual citizen of Indonesia.“
Thus, it is clear that the Indonesian language is compulsory in preparing a legal agreement involving an Indonesian party.
As an implementing regulation to the Language Law, the PR on the Use of Indonesian Language supports the mandatory use of the Indonesian language in agreements involving an Indonesian party. Paragraph 3 of Article 26 of the PR further stipulates that, however, in the case of any conflict between the translation and the original text, the governing language shall be the one agreed to in the agreement.
Comprehensive Legal Understanding
Indonesian to English translation of agreements or vice versa is also essential to thoroughly understand the document. A good translation will enable both the foreign and Indonesian parties to understand the agreement’s terms better. Therefore, it is crucial to choose a competent legal document translator.
Legal document translators must possess abundant legal knowledge to be able to translate a legal document accurately. Otherwise, the translation result may not be consistent with the original agreement or the intended legal meanings.
