Translations

There is no official translation of "Indonesia Raya" into other languages. On 28 October 1953, on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the anthem, the Harian Umum daily published their own English, German, and Dutch translations of the song. A bulletin released by the Ministry of Information used these translations. However, in the modern days, the translations are not publicized anymore, since they are not officially recognized by the government.

The following is an approximate translation of "Indonesia Raya" in English.
