I came across SysAdmin’s Diary today, asking for any beta testers for Firefox Bahasa Malaysia Plugin. The plugin is currently developed by Razi from Pakatan Firefox-MS.

Without hesitation, I went to the website to download the installation package, an .xpi extension…

Standard installation with any Firefox extension took place, but after restarting, I was a bit lost - at the beginning - after seeing my browser in Bahasa Malaysia. These are the screenshots of the Malay version Firefox browser. And of course, my two cents review.

><

The first impression when I saw this drop down menu was “Malay words will occupy more space to translate it from English.” I wonder where did my “Close Window” button go…

><

Is it “Cari Lagi” or “Cari Semula”?

It is difficult to find a replacement word for “Off” other than “Mati” in Malay. “Mati” is a direct translation of “Die” in English.

Is it “Tab Terbaru Ditutup” or “Tab Ditutup Terbaru”?

I think there should be a space between “Tanda” and “buku” in “Tandabuku semua tab”.

><

Is it suitable for “Opsyen” to be change with “Pilihan”. Damn… I wonder where my Flashgot button go???

><

I think “Memeriksa” should be change to “Periksa”. And I wonder what happen to “Laporkan Laman Web Rosak” and “Laporkan Laman Web Palsu” in my English version.

“Lumpuhkan”???

When downloading files, I would suggest that “buka” in “Anda telah memilih untuk buka” is changed to “membuka”.

Nice… I like your sentence “Perisian berniat jahat boleh merosakkan komputer anda atau mencabuli privasi anda”.

It seems that I cannot resize the window. As you can see, some of the buttons are not showing its full image. Is it a bug (pepijat), Razi?

Anyway, nice to know that we have the option to use Firefox in Malay. Kudos to the developer!
