What is the directory™?
the directory™ (direktoripenerjemah.com) is a human-reviewed directory of Indonesian translators. Every entry — translation agencies, sworn translators, interpreters, proofreaders and interpreting-equipment rental and sales providers — is added and maintained by editors who follow clear guidelines and policies. The result is a more accurate, higher-quality selection than any automatically generated list.
Our purpose
We want to highlight the signals of trust we find in every translation business we review, so potential clients can see that a business is reputable and worth trusting.
Background
Search engines tend to over-rely on inbound links as the main signal of trust. As a result, many translation agencies with decades of experience, a physical office, officially sworn translators and hundreds of happy clients are still hard to find online.
Things like company history, portfolio, testimonials, accreditations, certifications or sworn-translator status from the Ministry of Law cannot be measured automatically by an algorithm. It takes a manual review to really get to know a business — and that is exactly what we do.

What we check
When reviewing a listing we look at, among other things:
- A complete, verifiable office address and contact details
- Sworn-translator status (Ministry of Law decree) when claimed
- Portfolio, case studies or client list
- Authentic customer testimonials
- Accreditations, association memberships (e.g. HPI) and certifications
- Clear terms and conditions of service
- Year established and the team's experience
- Social media presence and a regularly updated blog or news section
One last thing: be honest. Clients appreciate businesses that are open about their experience and the way they work.
