Similarly, throughout UNHCR\u2019s engagement in Malaysia, the Office has utilized both English and Malay language mediums in order to effectively communicate with government, public, and refugee communities.<\/p>\n
Recognising a gap of standardised refugee-related terms within the Malay language, UNHCR has developed the Refugee Lexicon: Translation of Related Terms into the Malay Language. UNHCR identified common terms in English and engaged with in-house technical experts who are native Malay language speakers to provide practical translations that can be used in the ordinary vernacular. Approximately 3,000 terms that are commonly used in discussions on the refugee context were compiled and translated.<\/p>\n
UNHCR reviewed these translations and referred to translations used by the Malay language authority, Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka. The Refugee Lexicon is a living document which will be periodically reviewed and updated.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ module_id=”atozindex” _builder_version=”4.14.3″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#0072BC” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.14.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.14.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.3″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” text_font_size=”24px” text_line_height=”1.5em” link_font=”Poppins||||on||||” link_text_color=”#FFFFFF” link_font_size=”24px” link_line_height=”1.5em” header_2_font=”Poppins|700|||||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
