In translating someone's writing, is it okay if I bold the word although in the original text, it is not bolded? Good question. I don't think I've ever seen any bold or italic writing in any formal translation, so you probably should ask those who have done translation work before. I mostly de

Yeah, I know that. But how do you translate both sentences then? The same way. In Indonesian, emphasis can only be shown either by intonation or bold or italic. Or, in an informal sentence, you might be able to use "kok". Eg, aku sudah kasih tau dia kok, dia aja yang nggak mau denger

You're welcome. Hm... I can't speak for everyone but so far I have not encountered any, and the stories I heard are far and in-between, so I suppose it's safe to say that the racist people are the minority not the majority.

@astra: you can use "they" as a singular pronoun when you're not sure or you don't want to tell the gender of the person, instead of repeatedly using he/she. It is widely accepted now and used everywhere. Maybe I will hold you to that. Haha. As I said, will still be a long time, especiall

Pedant mode on. Psst, there's "to break (a) fast" in the sense of "buka puasa". Older English construct, where "break" is the verb while "fast" is the noun. A fast is a period of not eating. This isn't necessarily religious, it could simply mean not being a
