Thanks, I have downloaded the file. It looks that your translator did
not review the previous translation. Even though the strings under
"translated" but some are actually still in original language, for
example the translation of "_File" is still "_File". There are several
words that will not be accepted in the standard Indonesian native
language, for example "object" translated into "objek". Indonesian
language use "obyek". "Translate X" means moving an object in X
direction, it is definitely not "Terjemahan X"

Currently, I am only interested in UI porsion, and we can cross-review
the translations to obtain good quality translations. Not only
word-by-word translations but sometimes it must be contextual and
comprehendable by Indonesian native users.

I will try to complete the translation of all UI main menus and
sub-menus during the weekend and post it to the link you have created.
