Indonesian¶
id, tier B, Bahasa Indonesia. 19.3 percent of 290 terms have an approved translation or a protected spelling. This measures terminology coverage, not completed prose review or publication approval.
This table is generated from the core translation memory localization/id-core.tmx, the canonical data for Indonesian terminology. Edit the memory, not this page.
Use the English term until a proposed translation is approved, or when a translation is missing. A protected spelling stays unchanged. The fallback original term is the plain English phrase to translate when the term itself will not travel; the principles say how to use it. A draft English name still requires confirmation even if its spelling is protected here.
Select an English term for its definition and application context. The translator handoff explains how to propose changes.
The Indonesian localization guide explains the reasoning behind the less obvious choices and the rules that apply to this language.

Type design¶
| English term | Fallback original term | Indonesian | Translation status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ascender | upward extension | ascender | proposed | Professional loan: Sihombing («Tipografi dalam Desain Grafis»), Rustan and Indonesian DKV course material all write ascender. No native term is in use. |
| baseline | writing line | garis dasar | proposed | Apple AppKit, Microsoft and LibreOffice use «garis dasar». Textbooks (Sihombing, Rustan) keep English baseline; the Indonesian form is transparent and already what users see in software. |
| bowl | round belly | bowl | proposed | Professional loan: Indonesian DKV course material (for example UMN theses following Landa and Sihombing) keeps bowl. Apple's «mangkuk» names a soup-bowl shape, not letter anatomy. |
| cap height | capital-letter height | tinggi kapital | proposed | No Indonesian attestation in the corpus or the web sources checked; fallback «capital-letter height» translated, parallel to «tinggi x». Textbooks keep English cap height. |
| character | karakter | proposed | Attested in 25 origins (Adobe, Apple, Microsoft); Sihombing uses «karakter (character)». Kept distinct from «glif». | |
| contour | kontur | proposed | Google's Indonesian web.dev article on variable fonts writes «kontur glyph»; 14 corpus origins (Apple, Microsoft, QCAD). | |
| counter | enclosed white space | counter | proposed | Professional loan: Indonesian DKV course material keeps counter. Rejected the corporate «penghitung» (a tally counter). |
| descender | downward extension | descender | proposed | Professional loan: Sihombing, Rustan and DKV course material write descender. |
| diacritical mark | combining mark | tanda diakritik | proposed | KBBI term; Apple CoreText uses «diakritik». |
| em | type body | em | proposed | Kept as the international unit, lowercase (Microsoft: «spasi em»); Indonesian typography has no native word for the em. |
| extremum | local extreme point | titik ekstrem | proposed | No Indonesian attestation in the corpus or the web sources checked; «ekstrem» is the KBBI form; follows German Extrempunkt. |
| glyph | glif | proposed | Indonesian Wikipedia (article «Glif»), Scribus, QCAD and Google's Indonesian documentation write «glif». Rejected Apple's «simbol gambar» (picture symbol), which no designer uses, and unadapted «glyph». | |
| handle | gagang | proposed | Adobe Illustrator's Indonesian strings: «gagang kurva», «gagang bezier». Short and a real tool part. Rejected «pegangan» (Blender, GIMP, QCAD) and Apple's «pengendali». | |
| ink trap | ink relief notch | perangkap tinta | proposed | No Indonesian attestation in the corpus or the web sources checked; literal, as in German, Spanish and French. Designers also say the English ink trap. |
| italic angle | slant angle | sudut kemiringan | proposed | Fallback «slant angle» translated; Apple CoreText has Slant → Kemiringan. |
| lining figures | capital-height figures | angka selaras | proposed | Apple CoreText: Lining Figures → Angka Selaras. |
| node | simpul | proposed | Blender and Krita; the Pusat Bahasa equivalent of node. Rejected the English «node» (CorelDRAW users' habit), Inkscape's «nodal», and «titik jangkar», which would collide with «jangkar». | |
| overshoot | optical surplus | overshoot | proposed | Professional loan: Indonesian typography writing that cites Rustan and Sihombing uses overshoot. The fallback would give «kelebihan optis», which nobody writes. |
| proportional figures | natural-width figures | angka proporsional | proposed | Apple CoreText: Proportional Numbers → Angka Proporsional. |
| segment | segmen | proposed | Apple, Blender; KBBI. | |
| serif | serif | proposed | Apple Font Book, Microsoft and every Indonesian textbook keep «serif». «Kait», «kaki» and «sirip» occur only as explanations. | |
| sharp | tajam | proposed | Adobe, Apple (7 origins). | |
| sharp node | simpul tajam | proposed | From «simpul» and «tajam». | |
| stem | main stroke | batang | proposed | Sihombing writes «batang (stem)»; Google's Indonesian web.dev uses «batang vertikal». Some DKV material keeps English stem. |
| swash | flourish | swash | proposed | Professional loan: Indonesian DKV material and Indonesian script-font foundries keep swash. Apple wavers between «hiasan» and «ekor». |
| terminal | stroke ending | terminal | proposed | Sihombing: «… garis akhir sebagai penutup yang disebut terminal». |
| UPM | units per type body | UPM | proposed | The abbreviation also fits the Indonesian expansion «unit per em»; write that out in prose. Keep numeric controls compact: LSB/RSB (French AG/AD), UPM and PPM. Expanded terms belong in explanatory help; the full Family Dimensions Units Per eM label is an intentional exception. Team UI convention in Proteus 1751b28b0. |
| winding direction | drawing direction | arah kontur | proposed | No Indonesian attestation in the corpus or the web sources checked; fallback «drawing direction» rendered as contour direction, as German and Polish did. |
| x-height | small-letter height | tinggi x | proposed | Inkscape: «tinggi-x». Textbooks (Sihombing, Rustan) keep English x-height. Written without the hyphen, as an ordinary Indonesian noun phrase, parallel to «tinggi kapital». |
Font engineering¶
| English term | Fallback original term | Indonesian | Translation status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| advance height | tinggi glif | proposed | No Indonesian attestation in the corpus or the web sources checked; counterpart of «lebar glif» (advance width); same concept as vertical advance. It is the box height, not the outline height. | |
| advance width | glyph box width | lebar glif | proposed | No Indonesian attestation in the corpus or the web sources checked; fallback «glyph box width» translated, shortened as Glyphs does with Width. Rejected the calque «lebar maju» and Apple's bare «lebar», which is kept for geometric width and the width axis. |
| alignment zone | height band for snapping | zona perataan | proposed | No Indonesian attestation in the corpus or the web sources checked; built from «perataan» (alignment; Apple, LibreOffice) and «zona»; parallel to «zona hint». |
| anchor | attachment point | jangkar | proposed | Apple, Microsoft, GIMP, Krita and LibreOffice all use «jangkar». Illustrator's «titik jangkar» is its anchor point, which FontLab calls a node, so the node is «simpul» to keep the two apart. |
| anti-aliasing | edge smoothing | anti-aliasing | proposed | Krita, QCAD and Inkscape keep the English; hyphenated form as the definition asks. GIMP's «antialias» is the rejected variant. |
| autohinting | automatic screen fitting | hinting otomatis | proposed | «Hinting» is the attested loan (GIMP); «otomatis» follows the noun in Indonesian, so no «auto-» prefix. |
| axis | sumbu | proposed | Google's Indonesian variable-font documentation (web.dev) and Microsoft Learn use «sumbu»; 11 corpus origins. | |
| axis map | axis value mapping | peta sumbu | proposed | No Indonesian attestation in the corpus or the web sources checked; fallback «axis value mapping» translated from the chosen «sumbu». |

| component | komponen | proposed | Adobe, Apple, Microsoft (9 origins). | |

| element | elemen | proposed | Apple, Microsoft, Krita (7 origins). | |
| element reference | shared drawing link | referensi elemen | proposed | From «referensi» and «elemen». |
| family dimensions | dimensi keluarga | proposed | From «dimensi». «Keluarga» is the designers' word for a font family (LibreOffice, BINUS); Apple's «kumpulan» is not used in the profession. | |
| Flex | Flex | proposed | A fixed PostScript operation name; kept. | |
| font dimensions | dimensi font | proposed | From «dimensi»; «font» is the universal Indonesian word (Apple, Microsoft, Adobe, Google), not KBBI's «fon» or LibreOffice's «fonta». | |
| font target | export target | font tujuan | proposed | No Indonesian attestation in the corpus or the web sources checked; «tujuan» is destination (Apple: «folder tujuan»). |
| font unit | unit font | proposed | No Indonesian attestation in the corpus or the web sources checked; plain compound; «unit» also keeps the UPM abbreviation valid in Indonesian. | |
| fractional coordinates | non-integer coordinates | koordinat pecahan | proposed | No Indonesian attestation in the corpus or the web sources checked; «pecahan» is a fraction; «koordinat desimal» is the rejected alternative. |
| friendly glyph name | readable glyph name | nama glif terbaca | proposed | No Indonesian attestation in the corpus or the web sources checked; fallback «readable glyph name» translated. Rejected the literal «nama ramah». |
| ghost hint | edge-only fitting instruction | hint hantu | proposed | No Indonesian attestation in the corpus or the web sources checked; literal and a little playful, like French hint fantôme and Polish hint widmo. |
| hint | screen fitting instruction | hint | proposed | The definition keeps the word English in every language. Rejected Apple and Microsoft «petunjuk», an ordinary tip. |
| hint zone | hinting height band | zona hint | proposed | From the loan «hint». |
| hinting | screen fitting | hinting | proposed | GIMP keeps «Hinting»; Indonesian font makers use the loan. |
| instance | generated design | instans | proposed | Adapted loan, attested in Microsoft Word. Google's documentation keeps English «instance»; «contoh» (Adobe, Apple, Blender) means example and was rejected. |
| interpolation | interpolasi | proposed | GIMP, Krita, Microsoft; Google's web.dev article. | |
| kern exception | pair spacing exception | pengecualian kerning | proposed | From «kerning». |
| kerning | pair spacing correction | kerning | proposed | Professional loan: Adobe, Apple AppKit, Inkscape, Scribus and Indonesian typography courses. Rejected Microsoft's «rapatkan dua karakter» and the paraphrase «jarak antarhuruf». |
| kerning class | pair spacing group | kelas kerning | proposed | From «kerning». |
| kerning pair | spacing-corrected pair | pasangan kerning | proposed | From «kerning»; «pasangan» is a pair. |
| left sidebearing | sidebearing kiri | proposed | From the loan «sidebearing». Keep numeric controls compact: LSB/RSB (French AG/AD), UPM and PPM. Expanded terms belong in explanatory help; the full Family Dimensions Units Per eM label is an intentional exception. Team UI convention in Proteus 1751b28b0. | |
| Lib | Lib | proposed | Identifier mirroring the UFO lib; kept. | |
| line gap | celah baris | proposed | No Indonesian attestation in the corpus or the web sources checked; «celah» is a gap, «baris» a line of text. Kept apart from «tinggi baris». | |
| line height | tinggi baris | proposed | No Indonesian attestation in the corpus or the web sources checked; literal, with «baris» for a line of text; the usual rendering of CSS line height. | |
| link metrics | tie spacing to another glyph | tautkan metrik | proposed | No Indonesian attestation in the corpus or the web sources checked; «tautkan» is the standard verb for link (Apple, Microsoft). |
| linked metrics | metrik tertaut | proposed | From «tautkan metrik». | |

| metrics expression | ekspresi metrik | proposed | From «metrik». | |
| metrics key | kunci metrik | proposed | From «metrik». | |
| pin | pin | proposed | English term: draft. Proposed form retained from the current FontLab UI. A pin is a named positioning point, distinct from an anchor used for glyph attachment. | |
| PPM | pixels per type body | PPM | proposed | The abbreviation also fits the Indonesian expansion «piksel per em»; write that out in prose. Keep numeric controls compact: LSB/RSB (French AG/AD), UPM and PPM. Expanded terms belong in explanatory help; the full Family Dimensions Units Per eM label is an intentional exception. Team UI convention in Proteus 1751b28b0. |

| required glyphs | mandatory glyphs | glif wajib | proposed | No Indonesian attestation in the corpus or the web sources checked; fallback «mandatory glyphs» translated. |
| right sidebearing | sidebearing kanan | proposed | From the loan «sidebearing». Keep numeric controls compact: LSB/RSB (French AG/AD), UPM and PPM. Expanded terms belong in explanatory help; the full Family Dimensions Units Per eM label is an intentional exception. Team UI convention in Proteus 1751b28b0. | |
| sidebearing | side space | sidebearing | proposed | No Indonesian term is attested; Indonesian font makers work in English-language editors and say sidebearing, so the loan is kept. The fallback «side space» would give «jarak sisi», the alternative for a reviewer to weigh. |
| size | ukuran | proposed | Apple: «Ukuran Font». | |
| spacing | spasi | proposed | Apple CoreText: Spacing → Spasi. «Spasi» also names a space character, so prose may need «pengaturan spasi». | |

Interface¶
| English term | Fallback original term | Indonesian | Translation status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| action | tindakan | proposed | Platform word (Apple and Microsoft Indonesian UI, 16 general-software origins). Rejected «aksi», used by Blender, GIMP, Inkscape and Krita, which reads as stunt or protest. | |
| add | tambah | proposed | Attested in 25 origins (Adobe, Apple, Microsoft). The bare root is the compact label; «tambahkan» is the form with an object in running text. | |
| alternate | alternatif | proposed | Apple CoreText (Alternates → Alternatif) and Microsoft. | |
| anchor cloud | attachment point cloud | awan jangkar | proposed | No Indonesian attestation in the corpus or the web sources checked; literal compound of «jangkar» (anchor), like German Ankerwolke and Polish chmura kotwic. |
| auto layer | recipe-built layer | lapisan otomatis | proposed | From «lapisan» (layer); Indonesian puts «otomatis» after the noun (Apple, LibreOffice «… Otomatis»). FontLab's machine-translated Indonesian site has the same phrase. |
| autohint | hint otomatis | proposed | No Indonesian attestation in the corpus or the web sources checked; command label built from the loan «hint» plus «otomatis», the pattern of «Kern Otomatis». The process is «hinting otomatis». | |
| Brush | Kuas | proposed | Adobe Illustrator, Apple and Krita (18 origins). | |
| collapse | ciutkan | proposed | Apple and Microsoft (14 origins) for Collapse. Here it pulls nodes to one point without merging, so «satukan» and «gabungkan» were rejected. | |
| color flag | color mark | bendera warna | proposed | No Indonesian attestation in the corpus or the web sources checked; «bendera» is the flag of Apple Mail and Finder. Rejected «tanda warna» because «tanda» is the positioning mark. |
| corner angles | sudut pojok | proposed | No Indonesian attestation in the corpus or the web sources checked; «sudut» means both angle and corner, so the corner is «pojok» here to avoid «sudut sudut». | |
| cousins | related glyphs alongside | sepupu | proposed | House voice: the plain family word for cousins; Indonesian needs no plural form. |
| crop | pangkas | proposed | Adobe Illustrator and Microsoft Office. Rejected «potong» (Apple Photos), which is Cut in every Edit menu. | |
| cubic | kubik | proposed | Blender; KBBI adjective. | |
| current | saat ini | proposed | Apple and Microsoft (13 origins): «pengguna saat ini». It follows the noun: «lapisan saat ini». | |
| cusp | titik runcing | proposed | No Indonesian attestation in the corpus or the web sources checked; «runcing» is pointed. Inkscape's «simpul puncak» and «penyudutan» are inconsistent; «tajam» is kept for sharp. | |
| decompose | break into contours | uraikan | proposed | «Menguraikan» is to break down into parts (KBBI); QCAD uses «uraikan» for exploding text into outlines. |
| default | default | proposed | Platform word: Apple, Microsoft, Adobe and Google Indonesian all write «default» (28 origins). Rejected LibreOffice's «baku» and the native «bawaan», which is good Indonesian but not what the OS shows. | |
| demo mode | mode demo | proposed | Both words are established loans; Indonesian order. | |
| dialog | dialog | proposed | Apple, Microsoft (17 origins). | |
| Dream Up | generate shapes | Sulap | proposed | House voice: «sulap» is a conjuring trick and «disulap jadi …» is the everyday idiom for magical transformation, matching Polish wyczaruj. The plain fallback is «buat bentuk». |
| echo text | repeated text | gema teks | proposed | No Indonesian attestation in the corpus or the web sources checked; «gema» is an echo; rejected «ulangi teks», which collides with Repeat. |
| Eraser | Penghapus | proposed | Adobe, Apple, Microsoft (14 origins). | |
| expand filter | bake filter into contours | filter ke kontur | proposed | No Indonesian attestation in the corpus or the web sources checked; fallback translated in the «X ke Y» label pattern of Inkscape's «Sapuan ke Tapak». Adobe's «perluas» for Expand would read as enlarge. |
| expand stroke | bake stroke into contours | goresan ke kontur | proposed | No Indonesian attestation in the corpus or the web sources checked; same pattern as «filter ke kontur». In running text: «ubah goresan menjadi kontur». |
| expand transformation | bake transformation into contours | terapkan transformasi | proposed | No Indonesian attestation in the corpus or the web sources checked; fallback «bake transformation into contours» rendered as apply, as French did. |
| feature | fitur | proposed | Google, Microsoft and Inkscape use «fitur»; tags stay literal. | |
| Fills | Isian | proposed | Microsoft uses «isian» for the noun. Rejected «isi» (Apple, Inkscape), which also means content. | |
| FontAudit | FontAudit | do-not-translate | ||
| FontLab account | akun FontLab | proposed | Translate the common noun account and inflect it in complete sentences; preserve the FontLab brand. German, Spanish and French wording is already used in current FontLab UI. Other language forms are proposals. Do not duplicate account when the surrounding sentence already translates it. | |
| Fusion | Welder | Pengelas | proposed | User decision 2026-10-04: translate the fallback Welder, the named live boolean group filter. Polish Spawacz is explicit; other renderings are proposals. Preserve Fusion in code identifiers. |
| Genius node | self-balancing node | simpul Genius | proposed | From «simpul»; Genius kept as the feature's name, as in German, Spanish, French and Polish. |
| grid | kisi | proposed | Adobe Illustrator and Microsoft (28 origins). The loan «grid» is common in speech. | |
| Groups | Grup | proposed | Microsoft and Adobe (11 origins). Inkscape's «kelompok» is the rejected alternative. | |
| guide | garis bantu | proposed | Inkscape («Garis Bantu») and everyday designers' usage; unambiguous like German Hilfslinie. Rejected the more frequent «panduan» (Adobe, Apple, Microsoft), which also means a manual or guidebook. | |

| Knife | Pisau | proposed | The real tool's name; Apple, Krita. | |
| layer | lapisan | proposed | GIMP, Krita, QCAD, Microsoft (20 origins). Inkscape's «lapis» and the English «layer» are the rejected variants. | |
