Katagonia At a Glance
Previously branded “Makna Translation”, Katagonia Language Solutions was co-founded in 2011 by Sony Novian, a professional translator and interpreter who has been in the business for more than one decade. Katagonia, which is also the brand of PT Makna Karya Indonusa, has been gradually expanding its services. We offer high quality language services, including but are not limited to: translation, interpreting, subtitling, voice over, sign language, virtual events organizing, foreign language courses, and many more.It is our ultimate goal to ensure our clients’ needs are satisfied while simultaneously creating a vibrant community of language professionals.
Established in 2011, Katagonia Language Solutions (previously branded Makna Translation) is your one-stop solution language service provider.
Katagonia has a three-fold purpose:
- To provide a one-stop solution for your language services needs.
- To become a hub for translators/interpreters/language services providers and professionals for collaborating and building a thriving community.
- To create lasting impacts in Indonesia’s language services industry.
The majority of our work is indeed within the translation/interpreting services and we are most proud of the talented individuals we call our team. Our team does not merely translate the words for you, we want to be your trusted partner for communicating with your counterparts or clients.
Our translators / interpreters are experienced professionals in the translation field. They have spent a significant amount of time on various clients’ projects, translating/interpreting while at the same time enabling themselves to understand the context and technicalities of that particular project. Thus, our translator will not only translate the words on your documents, they will also keep intact the crucial information/meaning that might typically be lost in the translation process due to lack of background knowledge and technical terms. This will eventually lead to your message being rendered as if you and your client speak the same language.
Needless to say, Indonesia is a truly diverse country, inhabited by people who speak different local dialects but united by one language, the Indonesian language. For foreign companies’ owners/operators working in Indonesia, you probably have experienced that awkward/difficult conversations in getting your message across; tid bits yet useful information that is oftentimes misinterpreted or even lost; things you consider appropriate are actually rather insulting in your client’s viewpoint; meetings not happening due to confusion in understanding correspondences, or even fatal mistake in the translation which jeopardized your business deals or contracts. This is where our team fits into picture. And in the years to come, PT Makna Karya Indonusa will continue to grow and establish various other services for Indonesia, among others in the horizon are the Katagonia Academy and Makna Talent Management. The vast experiences our team has accumulated over the span of 10 years would be a great assistance in your journey in Indonesia.
