Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Since we had few continuous rounds of difficult languages, this round will be the 10th language by total number of speakers: Indonesian :D

Ada dua cara untuk menulis program tanpa galat, namun hanya jalan ketiga yang bekerja
Bagdat Yesbossinov
Bagdat Yesbossinov I give up totally, because Indonesian I know nothing about, much to my shame.
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Hint, there is at least 1 Arabic loan word hiding within it :D
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo At least 3 Sanskrit words (2 in hiding)
Bagdat Yesbossinov
Bagdat Yesbossinov Dua? is prayer or asking?
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Nope, not that one :)
Bagdat Yesbossinov
Bagdat Yesbossinov In Kazak language they say dugha?
Bagdat Yesbossinov
Bagdat Yesbossinov Jalan is dzhalan phonetically? how do you pronounce your "J" as Germans or French?
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Indeed, like French
Анатолий Сорэнсен
Анатолий Сорэнсен Dua = two
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Bravo Анатолий Сорэнсен, that's correct!
Bagdat Yesbossinov
Bagdat Yesbossinov WOW, if dua is two, you must be like Russians
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo (Indonesian for prayer would be doa)
Christian James Meredith
Christian James Meredith Oh!
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Indeed, but Indonesian dua came from Malayo-Polynesian root, while Russian (and English two) is Proto-Indo-European root
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo ↑ pun intended
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Christian James Meredith, go go go :D
Bagdat Yesbossinov
Bagdat Yesbossinov Program is barnamij in Arabic, so that one definitely not there ... LOL!
Christian James Meredith
Christian James Meredith I can do this too easily so I'll only drop some words:
Ada = there is
Tulis = write
Tanpa = without
(I don't actually know galat, maaf!)

Namun = however (I think...)
bekerja = which works (wait, is this English influenced? Or just a coincidence that you can use kerja like "work" in terms of functionality??)

Another hint - cara and Jalan are definitely not total synonyms but I think in this case they are.

Actually, I'd get this if I knew what galat meant.
Christian James Meredith
Christian James Meredith CURSE YOU SI GALAT
Bagdat Yesbossinov
Bagdat Yesbossinov Galat is pretty bad word?
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Yay, I purposefully follow Windowsnesia's official translation for galat, otherwise it would have been two easy :D
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Not a bad word :)
Bagdat Yesbossinov
Bagdat Yesbossinov Namun is from Sanskrit name?
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Christian is correct in all of his guesses
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo (and yes, I am translating a certain verse from a certain book from English into Indonesian)
Bagdat Yesbossinov
Bagdat Yesbossinov Christian James Meredith, comes from Sahul, so he knows Sunda people very well. ))))
Christian James Meredith
Christian James Meredith Oh god, Windowsnesian... Only colloquial Indonesian is more difficult!
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Pardon my bad Indonesian, I guess I have to add a word into my sentence:
Ada dua cara untuk menulis program tanpa galat, namun hanya jalan ketiga yang dapat bekerja
Christian James Meredith
Christian James Meredith Sahul wa nan desu ka? Shiranakuchau :(
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo When Indonesian version of Windows XP first came out, we call wonder where/how Microsoft found the words they used :P
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Unfortunately watashi no kataru bahasa nihongo :P
Christian James Meredith
Christian James Meredith Ah, I found it by looking for it on Wikipedia Indonesia :P

Wow... Indonesian makes such a scientific language at times :-/

OK, I'm gonna go ahead anyway and offer a translation:
Christian James Meredith
Christian James Meredith There are 2 ways to program without errors but only the third way works?
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Yay for Christian James Meredith! :D
Christian James Meredith
Christian James Meredith Yay! That's a funny statement too!
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo It's (my bad translation of) verse 40 of Epigrams on Programming: There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.

Bagdat Yesbossinov
Bagdat Yesbossinov So, where is the only Arabic word in hiding here? Arief Wibowo.
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Unless I am misinformed, that would be galat
Bagdat Yesbossinov
Bagdat Yesbossinov interesting, I thought about Jalan?
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo I am not sure where jalan (literally means road or street - you will see a lot of Jalan in Malaysia/Indonesia) came from though :)
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Christian James Meredith, your turn :D
