Description du poste

Overview

Malay trips AI on register: formal written Malay and everyday colloquial speech pull in different directions, and the model blends them awkwardly. It mishandles affixes that change a word entirely and often cannot tell where Malaysian usage parts from Indonesian, which a native speaker sees straight away.
