Furniture / Household Appliances
Indonesian term or phrase: Selamat jalan
I've got this expression in a document abt buying furniture in Indonesia. It is in fact a Dutch doc but as there are only 2 translators in Indonesian/Dutch, I also ask the question here. Even Indonesian/French would suit me, as French is the target language of my document.
