In the middle of 2020, the Indonesian government submitted a draft of the Indonesian-Chinese classics translation project, which intends to translate and publish 50-100 books in Indonesia. However, the problem of translating Indonesian language into Chinese has always existed, because many Chinese editors do not understand Indonesian, and they have not found effective methods to promote these works. Cost is still a problem. In China, English translations are usually lower than Indonesian language to Chinese translation costs, and China lacks high -quality Indonesian translators. Therefore, most publishers have introduced English translations of Indonesian literary works.

At the same time, the Indonesian government has not paid much attention to the translation and introduction of Indonesian literary works in China. In view of the lack of close connections between scholars studying Indonesian literature and publishers, Chinese and Indonesian literary participants need to communicate frequently. China and Indonesian publishing institutions also need long -term and stable cooperative relationships. (Author Muhammad Zellefar Rahlmat, Jeta Purnama, translation of biography)
