Glad to meet you here. I introduce my self, I am a human translator and Indonesian native - Pantas Pangihutan S. And also, I am a Poet and a Published Author, and my single anthology in English is "Crystal of Morning Dew". Starting my translation service since 1987. I am, a specialist translator from English into Indonesian, and I am an autodidact person. My background is Nautical Science, I have tested via online for Marlins Test London - the UK with the resulting average: 91% (of 100) - on Oct 2015. My service is to give you the highest-accuracy in translation, both credible and reliable person, my translation quality is not merely by words but the most important is how to catch the meaning intact, and also the selection of the precise words for Indonesian or English readers as crystal clear to be understood, not blurred in meaning. Though, I'm not a sworn translator, it doesn't mean that I am an amateur. Beside, I'm a poet with luminary award for English poems. I know that I have to keep your documents sealed in top-secret, as it is mine. Giving you a top highest quality of my service, the highest accuracy above standard, ready to meet your special needs, on-time delivery, competitive and affordable-price, where satisfaction is my priority.

I am an expert for Indonesian human-translator, as you know CAT-tools some time not giving the exact words because the CAT-tools is not human – it is only designed for translation program, there is no feeling or emotion in it. It’s only such an aid to ease the job and giving some alternative of interpretation. A wide range of personal knowledge is a must if we want to achieve the highest standard of accuracy. I often found the outcome of their translation sounds weird, I don’t mean to underestimate of others' job, the problem is that they much rely on the CAT-tools with just enough glossaries in common, and hard to find the exact meaning. Finally, the human-translator is ‘the man behind the gun’ for the highest-translation quality-result and not rely on the CAT-tools solely. Of course, the human translator takes a longer time compared to CAT-tools, but the best in quality.

As a human, I had a feeling, emotion, logical thinking, and some efforts of adaptation, and brainstorming for the final best-quality result, as closely as possible. That is the beauty of the human translator. Be common-sense, and be wise, as Human-Translator do more than what the CAT-tools can do by itself. As proverb said that all glitters are not always gold. Finally, I have to say that ‘Language means Human’.
