Digital Dictionaries
- Kateglo

Online dictionary. Indonesian-Indonesian, Indonesian-English. Contains Badan Bahasa's Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia. Has a very user-friendly interface. Well-maintained.
- Pusat Rujukan Persuratan Melayu

Online dictionary. Malay-Malay, English-Malay. One can search multiple dictionaries and glossaries published by Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (e.g. Kamus Dewan, Kamus Pelajar, Kamus Inggeris-Melayu Dewan) as well as other materials that have been digitalised by them. Despite its huge size, the data does not seem to be organised, which makes it very difficult and time-consuming to reach the necessary information. Basically, what it does is to give you all items that contain your search word; after that, you have to go through each item patiently until you get what you want.
- Citcat


Online dictionary and translation. Malay-English, English-Malay, Malay-Mandarin (dictionary only), Mandarin-Malay (dictionary only); Indonesian-English (dictionary only), English-Indonesian. The system is very user-friendly and the users can quickly find the information they need, whether it is the translation of a passage or the meaning of a word. However, the results are not always reliable.
