Bahasa Indonesia

Durigo is a mobile app for finding durian sellers and logging sightings of them. People use it to discover durian stalls, trucks, shops and farms near them on a map, see what's in stock and at what price, and rate what they've tasted. The words below appear all over the app, and each one needs to read naturally and mean the same thing everywhere it shows up. For each word you'll see what it means and where people run into it, then my suggested translation. Please correct anything that sounds off or unnatural.

We've already settled most of the wording ourselves. This page only asks about the few spots where we're still unsure, with the neighbouring words shown faded where they help.

  1. When someone is standing at a durian seller, they can log what they see right now: how much is in stock, the price. The app calls this a "Sighting", like spotting a durian out in the wild and jotting it in a notebook. We want the friendly "I spotted it / I found it here" feeling. Please avoid the word for a scary/ghostly apparition or a courtroom eyewitness.

    Word type: a noun. This one matters. The app never uses it as a verb. It appears inside sentences ("Delete sighting?", "Your sighting will be archived", "No sightings yet", "Add your first sighting") as well as on its own as a short label, so please give a word that can sit inside a sentence rather than a phrase that only works on a button. It needs a plural form ("Sightings"), and it also appears lowercase in the middle of a sentence ("Check out this sighting"), so it shouldn't depend on being capitalised.

    This word covers a status update someone posts about a store (stock, price, etc.). Does 'Belum ada update' read naturally for 'no updates yet'? For a count, is it 'Update 12' or '12 update'? Does 'Update' read confusingly anywhere the app might also talk about an 'app update' or 'software update'?
  2. When someone adds a durian seller to the map, they choose what kind it is. There are four kinds, and the main thing that separates them is whether the seller stays put or moves around, not whether they have walls. Please pick words that carry that difference:

    • Stall: a seller who is always in the same spot, but isn't a building you walk into. An open-air stand, often with a roof, tables and a sign. It's established and has its own identity: buyers can count on finding it there, season after season. Please avoid a word that suggests something informal, temporary, seasonal or that packs up and moves. That sense belongs to "Truck" below, and the two must not blur.
    • Truck: a seller who does not stay put, here today, somewhere else tomorrow, and often only around during durian season. Usually a literal vehicle (this is the slot for the pickup that parks by the roadside at night), so please keep the vehicle sense in the word.
    • Shop: a permanent walk-in shop inside a real building, with walls and a door (anything from a small store up to a supermarket)
    • Farm: the place where durian is grown (an orchard or grove), not a general farm

    Two things to watch: please make sure "Shop" here is a different word from the general "Store" word above; and if your language has a word that means roughly "a small permanent open-air stand" as opposed to "a trader's temporary pitch", the first one is what "Stall" wants.

    Word type: labels only. These four are the choices in a picker and the kind shown on a seller's profile, not sentence text. They only have to work on their own, and short is good.

    Stall
    or type your own below
    Kios is the attested word for a fixed durian stand (vs. a mobile lapak) โ€” but does it feel too market-stall for a large, branded stand? Kedai is the fallback, accepting its eat-in-cafe drift in Indonesian.
  3. The real owner of a durian store can "claim" it in the app so they can manage it. To prove the store is really theirs, three different customers scan a QR code to confirm them. That's "verifying". Once confirmed, the owner gets a "Verified owner" badge.

    • Claim = saying "this store is mine" (like registering ownership). NOT an insurance claim, NOT claiming a prize.
    • Verify / Verified = the community confirming someone really is the owner (a trust thing, not an ID or document check).
    • Verified owner = the badge they earn.

    Word types: please give every form your language needs. "Claim" has to work both as a noun and as a verb: as a noun in "My claims", "No claims yet", "Cancel claim?", "Claim moderation"; as a verb in "Claim this store" and "Store claimed". "Verify" needs three forms: the verb ("Verify", "when three customers verify it"), the adjective ("Verified", "Verified owner"), and a noun for the act itself ("Verification QR", "Awaiting verification", "a store verification code"). If those are different words in your language, please write each one.

    This is our draft. Tap the field to correct it.

    Verified owner (badge)
    'Terverifikasi' carries a stronger top-down feel in Indonesian than English 'verified' (document checks, a platform's blue tick) โ€” Durigo's badge means three customers vouched. Does 'Pemilik terverifikasi' need a supporting line ('Diverifikasi oleh 3 pelanggan'), or would 'Terverifikasi Komunitas' say it in the badge itself?
  4. After tasting, people give an overall score (roughly 1 to 5 stars) for the whole experience, or for a single durian variety. "Rating" is that overall score, and "Rate" is the button/verb for giving it. Ideally keep this different from "Review" (the full written write-up). They're related but shouldn't be the exact same word.

    Word types: a noun for the score ("Rating") and a verb for the button ("Rate"). Neither appears inside a longer sentence, so both can stay short.

    This is our draft. Tap the field to correct it.

    Rate (verb)
    Beri Rating over Beri nilai โ€” Shopee Indonesia's own 'Penilaian' bundles stars and written review together, which collides with keeping the score and the text separate here. Does 'Beri Rating' read as a plain app action?
  5. How much durian a seller has left right now, on a simple scale from none to lots. It shows up as a small badge, so shorter is better. "Moderate" just means a middling amount, nothing to do with prices or fairness.

    Word type: labels only. These four are the steps of a selector and a small badge rather than sentence text, so they only have to work on their own.

    This is our draft. Tap the field to correct it.

    Moderate
    'Sedang' is also Indonesian's progressive-aspect marker ('sedang buka' = currently open). On a standalone map badge, does it read cleanly as 'moderate' or momentarily as 'currentlyโ€ฆ'?
  6. How ripe the durian is, shown on a 7-step slider from unripe to spoiled. These are steps on one scale, so they should read as a smooth progression, not seven unrelated words. Please use words that are specifically about ripeness where you can: if a word also hints at texture or something else, lean toward the one that's mostly about how ripe it is (but if no clean word exists, that's okay).

    Word type: labels only. These are the steps of a slider and small on-screen labels, not sentence text, so they only have to work on their own, and shorter is better.

    For step 2 of 7 on the ripeness scale: 'Mulai matang' reads clearly as an early stage, but isn't attested for durian specifically. 'Mengkal' is the durian-specific word for this firm stage โ€” some buyers seek it out deliberately โ€” but other sources place it closer to step 3. Which reads right at step 2?
  7. How sweet the durian tastes, on a 5-step slider from not sweet to extremely sweet. A smooth progression: please make sure the top two steps ("very" vs "extremely") feel clearly different from each other.

    Word type: labels only. Like the ripeness scale, these live on a slider and as small on-screen labels rather than in a sentence, so shorter is better.

    This is our draft. Tap the field to correct it.

    โš ๏ธ Your call matters most hereExtremely sweet
    or type your own below
    For the top step of the sweetness scale: does 'Super manis' read clearly stronger than 'Sangat manis' below it, or about the same?
  8. How bitter the durian tastes, on a 5-step slider from not bitter to extremely bitter. This is just the plain level of bitterness at one moment. Please don't use expressions about bitterness "turning into sweetness" or an aftertaste journey; that idea belongs elsewhere in the app.

    Word type: labels only. These are slider steps and small labels rather than sentence text, so keep them short.

    This is our draft. Tap the field to correct it.

    โš ๏ธ Your call matters most hereExtremely bitter
    or type your own below
    For the top step of the bitterness scale (same question as sweetness's top step): does 'Super pahit' read clearly stronger than 'Sangat pahit' below it, or about the same?
  9. In a weekly opening-hours list, this marks a day the seller is always closed, for example "closed every Monday". It should read naturally as a regular weekly day off.

    Word type: a label only. It sits in the hours row next to a day name and never appears inside a sentence.

    Tutup matches the status badge and Indonesian hours tables; Libur ('off / on break') is the warmer word a small vendor uses about their own day off. Does Tutup read too corporate for a street vendor?
  10. Tiny labels showing how long ago someone last reported something at a durian seller, like "5m" (5 minutes ago), "3h" (3 hours ago), "2d" (2 days ago). This is elapsed time: "X ago", not a countdown, not distance, and not a calendar date. Space is tight, so short is welcome, but natural wins over short: if your language doesn't abbreviate time units in this situation, please give the normal words rather than a clipped form invented to save space. We'll make room. (This is a real correction: Chinese, for instance, uses the full words for "X ago" and only abbreviates in countdowns.)

    Word type: labels only. Each one sits directly after a number and nothing else.

    This is our draft. Tap the field to correct it.

    m (minutes)
    Indonesian's own words for these units are already short. Does the compact form (5 mnt / 3 j / 2 h) work, or would the full words (5 menit / 3 jam / 2 hari) read more clearly โ€” especially since a bare '5 mnt' next to a store pin risks reading as travel time, the way it would in a ride-hailing app?
  11. How much water is in the durian flesh, on a 5-step scale from dry to wet. Neither end is good or bad. Both are just what the fruit is like; please don't pick words that sound like praise or complaint at either end.

    Only the two ends (Dry, Wet) are settled. The three words in between are genuinely open. Please suggest whatever reads most natural to you as a smooth step between them, rather than translating my placeholder English literally. If your language has a natural way to describe this that doesn't map to exactly five steps, say so in the notes.

    Word type: labels only. These sit on a slider and as small on-screen labels, never inside a sentence, so shorter is better.

    This is our draft. Tap the field to correct it.

    Moist
    'Agak basah' is well-formed Indonesian but not found as a fixed phrase in durian sources the way the other four steps are. Does it read naturally?
  12. How fatty and heavy the durian flesh feels on the palate (think butter or cream), on a 5-step scale from light to rich. NOT sweetness, and not how strong the flavor is. Those are separate questions. Neither end is good or bad.

    Only the two ends (Light, Rich) are settled. The three words in between are genuinely open. Please suggest whatever reads most natural to you as a smooth step between them, rather than translating my placeholder English literally. If your language has a natural way to describe this that doesn't map to exactly five steps, say so in the notes.

    Word type: labels only. As with the other sliders, these are on-screen labels rather than sentence text, so shorter is better.

    This is our draft. Tap the field to correct it.

    Rich
    'Gurih' is the attested fat-axis word for durian, but in everyday Indonesian it leans savoury/umami first. On a slider from 'Ringan' to 'Gurih', does it read as about fattiness or about savouriness? (Same question covers 'Sangat gurih'.)
  13. The stringy, thread-like strands in the durian flesh that stay in your mouth after chewing, not dietary fiber in the nutrition sense. A 5-step scale from none to extremely fibrous.

    Most languages we've checked describe this as one word for 'fiber/strands' plus a degree word (a little / a lot), rather than five completely different words. Please build it that way if you can, instead of inventing a new word for each step. 'No fiber' is a real, positive answer people actually give (the taster checked and found none), not a placeholder for 'didn't check': if your language naturally says this as a negation ('without fiber'), that's exactly right, no need to force a positive-sounding word.

    Word type: labels only. These are slider steps and small labels, not sentence text, so shorter is better.

    This is our draft. Tap the field to correct it.

    Extremely fibrous
    or type your own below
    'Berserat kasar' is the real top-end description durian tasters reach for, but it shifts the axis from amount to coarseness. Does it read as an escalation after 'Sangat berserat', or as a topic change?
