Ten Reasons Why We Blog in English
Posted on August 19, 2007
1. My English writing skill is not good. I’d like to improve it by writing regularly in a medium where editorial barrier does not exist.
2. English is undoubtedly understood –though not necessarily spoken or written–by many, if not by most, influential people in the world. Hence larger audience, more visibility and influence of some sort.
3. Most internet-literate Indonesians understand English. Using English in my blog, therefore, does not hinder Indonesian readers to appreciate what I’d intend to convey to them, my primary audience.
4. Indonesian voices very much under-represented in the outside world simply because hardly any books, academic publication and conventional media are written in English. Indonesia — a country with more than 200 million population– has only one English newspaper, the Jakarta Post, and none of existing Indonesian magazines are in English. And hardly any best seller Indonesian books written by prominent intellectuals are written in or translated into English.
5. Among 10 percent of Indonesian internet users, only about 0.4 percent of them are blogging which means if you blog in Bahasa Indonesia you have to be satisfied with that of 0.4 percent readers who does not necessarily read your blog. Less potential readers will lead to less blogging courages.
6. It gives non-Indonesian a chance to know you and Indonesia: the mindset, culture, faith, etc. And it gives you more chance to interact with them. Hence, more understanding of multi-polar world and broaden your vista and horizon of thinking.
7. Depending on your blogging influence, but at the least it’ll give you more self-esteem by making more friends from various cultures accross the continents.
8. There are many people outthere with good intention to make an interfaith and intercultural dialogue; every now and then they need a person from particular country, say Indonesia, to talk to. Let them know that you are the person they want.
9. If your blog content is good, the possibility of being published and then reviewed by prominent international book reviewer is not far away.
10. Blogging in English, like blogging in any other languages including Bahasa Indonesia, is basically history in the making. The difference is by blogging in English you are making history in front of many faces and backgrounds from many countries and therefore it adds more to your credibility.

The Jakarta Post is the only English newspaper in Indo? Umm… Halooo! I don’t think you’re aware of the publication of another English paper: The Post (if I ain’t wrong, I forgot the exact name).
Pay a visit to Gramedia once in a while and you’ll see that paper in the news stand.
Good idea…I will post in english everyday
Has the Indonesian Observer died?
@Toshihiko: you’re missing an important & substantive point. 1, 2, or even 3 is not important. it’s still outrepresent the 200-odd million people of indonesia –> this is the main thing.
Hi,
I just found the blog:
Berbanggalah dengan berbahasa Indonesia,
karena bahasa mencerminkan bangsa…
Aku dulu pernah sedih juga malah,
pas ikutan forum berbahasa Inggris,
dimana ada thread tentang posting website/blog pribadi.
Eh, pas aku nunjukin blog aku (yang lama)..
mereka komennya aneh…. “Bahasa apakah itu?”
wah.. rupanya sedikitpun kata-kata bahasa Indonesia tidak ada yang mereka kenal…
Anda benar, tapi Fatih Syuhud juga benar. Dan, tak kalah pentingnya, AKUpun 100% BENAR, yaitu atur keseimbangan antara Anda berdua. Let’s view it as a continuum. Pada saat tujuan kita menyuarakan memperkenalkan Indonesia ke dunia luar, akan kuikuti Fatih Syuhud. Tapi bicara tentang kepribadian dan harkat/martabat bangsa, Anda yang akan kuikuti, Mbak. Kedengaran agak plin-plan? Terserah penilaian yang baca comment ini. Yang pasti aku adalah aku, bukan mbak sing ayu atau mas Fatih sing guanteng buangeet. Anda berdua adalah ujung bandulnya, dan aku berada dan bergerak di tengah kedua ujung bandul, ke kiri dan ke kanan secara proporsional. Kedengaran Pancasilais atau Indonesian? Memang!!! I want to live in harmony with nature and other people. Bukankah ini yang juga disuarakan oleh Iwan Fals, si musisi protes sosial yang sudah dapat pengakuan internasional??? Aku akan gunakan Bahasa Indonesia dan English secara proporsional dalam blogku. Sorry ya, Mbak klo bandulku lebih sering bergerak ke arah mas Fatih. Anyway, you are wonderful dan punya kepribadian yang kuat. I admire you. Peace!
Klo aku postingannya gambar terus…
Mungkin ada baiknya kalo di kombinasi dengan bahasa indonesia juga mas.
SALAM
mas me in making my blog appears in the search (google) .i’he tried to get the best way. but i my blog can be still appeared….help me
http://smadara.wordpress.com
for one who knows about the ways…please indicate me that ways to make blog in degree of search engine…

Dear Fatih ..
I can’t speak English fluently. So I want to follow your way to improve my skill in writing English. Let me to write again your writing in my blog. Thanks.
It’s really inspiring reason. I was challenged to the upside-right note in this blog. sometime we feel uncomfortable to express our idea in English because so many consideration of something. Thanks for inspiring.
Makmum aja sama Cak Fatih…:-D
Eh,boso Jowonya, I totally agree lah with Cak Fatih
Dan buat @namakamu;Ya bikin aja dua blog, okeh Bos? Yg satu Endonesa satunya buat iseng pake boso manca, adil kan..:-D
I`m proud with my nationality language but with english we can develop our country with more proud.
Even we love indonesian language but its important to learn english for knowing the world and use your knowledge for Indonesian Development.
Here it is, why in English, said Mr Fatih Syuhud http://www.fatihsyuhud.com/
taken from http://fatihsyuhud.com/2007/08/19/ten-reasons-why-we-blog-in-english/

your english is very good, cara km mengutarakan pendapat adalah persis dan konsisten, teruskan semangat tuk menguasai dgn lebih mendalam dan PeDe always!
I’m never confident use my english. But nekat ajahh…I’m blogging in english now. Learning by doing is one of many ways to make my english better. I believe, others will understand me with my ‘belepotan’ language.
im wondering when english language is gonna be daily language in Indonesia … jangan mau kalah sama malay dunk
english is not the most language used for blogging, japanesse is the most. so why dont make indonesian more popular. many australian people understand indonesian.
but the choices is up to blogger, maybe they want to improve their foreign language. not bad
#english mostly spoken and/or understood by people worldwide. not necessarily used for blogging. blogging is only one form of writing expression; and only one form of internet world.
Not all Malay good in english Hihihihi
i am very very very agree with you, Cak Fatih. English is one of international language also one of net-language. And to get many on net -in some case- we must write our blogs/webs in English. so, pancen perlu!!
i also try to write blog in but it’s seem hard to create posts. leak of inspiration? may be yes.
anyway, you’re right Cak Fatih.
Assalam. Mas Fatih. I wanna register to part of English Blogger. Would You please help me??
#there’s no such registration to blog in English. however, if you insist, you can put your blog address and intro about it in comment box here -> http://fatihsyuhud.com/top-blogger-indonesia-of-week/
Yup… I agree that’s why we have to make our blog in english, so the others from another country can read our blog, jadi setidaknya orang2 diluar sana knows that’s Indonesian people jg bisa ngeblog
sorry, aku jg belom bisa ngomong pake inggris… dan aku jg termotivasi untuk mengtranslate blog. yah… walou bahasa inggrisku sudah amburadul, coz I never use it for along time….
Dan hal itu tetap tidak mengurangi kebanggaan kita sebagai bangsa Indonesia, tapi justeru menambah kebanggaan kita sebagai bangsa Indonesia yang dikenal di luar sana, ya kan mas??
Tapi bahasa arabnya juga musti mas… kan Lughotul ‘arabiyyah lughotul jannah, shoh?
Setuju banget…walaupun cuma bisa yes or no…tapi sebisa mungkin english blog lah…
that’s what i wanna do, tapi akhirnya malas posting… but I’ll try again… inspired…
This post is good and useful because it can open up our mind.
I have copied link code of your Blog Indonesia. I have insert that into my front page. I love you and you’d love me back. Thanks
1. My English writing skill is not good. I’d like to improve it by writing regularly in a medium where editorial barrier is non-existent.
I really agree to this point. Writing in English in a regular basis may improve my ability. So, that’s why I just started my english blog.
mas … syuhud, kawit kapan panjenengan miwiti nyerat wonten ing BLOG ….., Blog panjengan jumlahipun pinten??? Kangge “promosi” blog panjengan ..punapa mawi iklan ing “adword” .. ??? Sak puniko panjengan lenggahipun wonten pundi ???

English languange 4 blogging … ??? why not
ehhhmmm sound gud…i like ur srtyle(admire)hehe…why not,,for me english is enjoy languange,,,so no reansons say I CAN’T…KEEP LEARN ENGLISH GUYS,,,
nice post, Sir.
)
previously, i wrote everythin’ in my blog in bahasa. then some of my buddies from overseas ask d meaning of ‘em. then i realized, i should try to write in english ( eventhough i understand that my english is bad … like we usually used to say, “Little-little sih I can”
eniwei, i’m proud being Indonesian. I love very much our beautiful Indonesia. but i believe, loving this country doesn’t mean that we should speak in bahasa only
perhaps, when i become a RI 1 (amen…), then i’ll always speaks in bahasa … everywhere, everytime, to everybody.
. sound good, eh? 
so our fellow foreign countrymen (who come to visit me) must learn bahasa
“ASELI Proud being Indonesian”
How important for Indonesian bloggers to blog in English, or in other foreign languages. It’s challenging! But for some reasons, I postpone that dream because of my poor English, and Im still newbie to blogging. Anyway, Im sure that my dream will come true, insha Allah…
Eager to know my reasons ? Here they are :
First:
Im absolutely agree with pointers given by mas Fatih, particularly no. 5. That’s why I try to use “Google Translate” in my blog, although the translation is less accurate. After that, the visitors are DRAMATICALLY INCREASE UP TO 300% !!!
But I still feel unsatisfied of some LOOPHOLES and even made me laugh, ‘coz Google translates all words. Among others, my blogroll which consist of A. Fatih Syuhud blog, has been translated like this : A. Rhodeislandrock Syuhud, Blogger Indonesia…
Gosh..!
That was the second reason why I want to blog in English, written by myself. Google translate is just a tool, and he doesnt have a heart. But, regarding my obstacles, temporarily I still use Google Translate…
Hmm.. you want to know my third reason ? Just go back to the first and second one… !
Arlina, never postpone your dream, plz. You learn, and eventually master, English writing skills only through writing in English. Never be afraid of making mistakes, because making mistake is 100% NORMAL in learning something new. So, keep on admiring Cak Fatih, and that will make you go on writing and writing and writing … in English. Your dream will surely come true. Trust me, I know what I’m saying.
As for Google translation, just forget it! Again, forget it. Language is human while Google translator is machine. Do you get my point here? Right, so write, write, and write in English. Okay, Ms. Arlina?
P.S. Your English has been perfectly understood by English speaking community. It’s only a matter of self confidence. Believe me. Sing pe de, ngono lho mbak Arlina sina ayu.
ok I’ll try although its hard for me
saya mungkin akan download sofware translator,
Thanks a lot, i will try.
JANGAN!!! Tolong baca comment Arlina dan comment-ku pada Arlina. Tidak ada kata terlambat untuk belajar. Jika orang lain bisa, kenapa Anda gak bisa. Jangan tunda, mulai dan teruslah berlatih. Kalau belum yakin, mulailah di facebook dengan seseorang yang benar-benar mengenal dan mengerti Anda. Okay? Sukses selalu menyertai Anda, PakUbumi.
i prefer to the first point, it’s also my reason , why i do blog in English, nice post to affect other to start blog in english
Oke, there is a will, and planing to build a blog with english language.
But how i can get ad from adsense, since i terlanjur set indonesia as my blog’s primary language,
we knew that having two adsense account is forbidden.
Please help me..
salam blogger Indonesia.
#you can change the setting of your adsense language. or you may create a different account using your sister or wife name
make it better also good performance
i try to build a blog in englih language too
Ya, i completely agree with your opinion. We want if our readers is not limited only just for Indonesian readers, but it will be nice if it can be understood by English readers as well. Writing in English language will make our English proficiency to be better, because when we write some articles, besides we need to understand about grammar itself, we are required to choose the right usage of the words in some situations.
Even my English is not good enough, I’ll never give up. I always force myself to write in English.
But it doesn’t mean that i don’t love Bahasa Indonesia.
Anyway, thanks for sharing.
Regards,
Me
Nah, itu dia. Biar pun di comment yang Anda tulis ini berisi “agak banyak” grammar mistakes, tapi orang Inggris pasti dapat menangkap isinya. Tujuanmu berkomunikasi sudah tercapai !!! That’s the point! Persetan dengan kesalahan grammar itu! Kita belajar bahasa lewat komunikasi. Jangan dibalik: “belajar bahasa agar bisa berkomunikasi” karena inilah kunci kegagalan kita belajar bahasa Inggris di masa lalu, dan Anda (mungkin) salah seorang produk masa lalu itu. Jadi, keep on practising your English, especially writing skills. Trust me, I know what I’m saying. (Aku seorang mantan instruktur pengembang tingkat nasional yang menatar para penatar Bahasa Inggris tingkat propinsi di negara tercinta ini.)
Inspiring post.
I asked one writer from England how to get her book in Indonesia and she asked me for a bookstore that can distribute her book, I recommended Gramedia. Hopefully Indonesian readers know how to learn other language because I found its limited to find an english book.
Learning is fun and languages are also fun. Arabic is the furqan language, English is the most common spoken in the world … ( Not really I read about english and its the 3rd or 4th – forgot already- and Indonesian language appears to be among top 10 spoken language )
Keep it up!!!!
What a nice posting..
Personally I’m blogging to be heard and to make friends..:)
Salam kenal
from newbie
enak ya kalau bisa lancar menggunakan bahasa inggris, bisa cas sis cus mengutarakan pendapatnya dengan bahasa yang banyak digunakan orang di dunia ini, tapi bagaimana ya belajar paham bahasa asing dengan metode yang praktis ?
#rajin menulis dan rajin membaca blog bhs inggris termasuk komentar2 di blog tsb.
Setuju bangat: “rajin menulis dan rajin membaca blog bhs inggris termasuk komentar2 di blog tsb.” Alami dan normalnya: Berbicara diawali oleh Mendengarkan, Menulis diawali oleh Membaca, dan seorang penulis jauh lebih banyak membaca daripada menulis. Jika mas Juffan takut salah dalam menulis, yakinlah bahwa selamanya mas gak bakal pernah menulis. Dalam belajar bahasa asing, kesalahan itu pertanda telah terjadi proses pembelajaran (maka disebut “developmental mistake”). Jadi mulai dan teruslah berlatih. Gak usah jauh-jauh, di sini aja, di blognya Cak Fatih. Aku akan rajin berkunjung ke blog ini tuk bantu kawan-kawan yang butuh bantuanku dan memang mau kubantu. Oke? Sukses selalu.
nice notes, tq prend
i totally agree with you sir. if we want to up grade our ability in writing then keep on writing. there are so many people out there who can speak fluently. but when asked to write will be trembling, don’t know what to do. needless to say, writing is also important since we have the four skills: speaking, reading, listening and writing. so…keep on writing, bro
Counter argument.
Saya pikir keputusan untuk menulis dalam bahasa inggris sangat berkaitan erat dengan konten. Bahasa gak cuma tentang history in the making, tapi bahasa juga memberi ruang gerak yang berbeda bagi penulisnya.
Ada batasan kultur pada bahasa Inggris dan Bahasa Indonesia. Batasan ini membuat makna dan imaji dari kata-per kata nggak akan pernah sama, bahkan ketika di tangan translator yang baik.
Jika harus disuruh memilih antara jumlah audiens dan ketersampaian maksud. Well, saya akan memilih yang terakhir.
Anda benar, Angger. Bahasa bagian tak terpisahkan dari kebudayaan, atau bahasa adalah pengungkapan kultur suatu komunitas. Banyak yang gak sama, tapi banyak juga yang sama. Persamaan dan perbedaan ini pun terpaksa harus diungkapkan melalui bahasa. Jadi aku akan ikut Cak Fatih memperkenalkan budaya bangsa kita tercinta ini melalui bahasa Inggris.
Oh, iya. Dalam berbahasa Indonesia, kita tak mungkin bisa menghindari penggunaan kata/istilah Inggris, karena perbedaan tersebut. Begitu juga sebaliknya, dalam berbahasa Inggris tak mungkin dihindari kata/istilah Indonesia kalau kita bicara tentang Indonesia. Jadi gak salah, dan memang normal, kalau tercadi CODE MIXING dan CODE SWITCHING dalam berkomunikasi antarbangsa. Yang penting, kita punya Interlanguage/Interculture Understanding. Dan, walau bumi ini tenggelam atau langit runtuh, aku tetap orang Indonesia dan cinta bahasa Indonesia tanpa menjadi eksklusif di era globalisasi ini.
P.S. untuk peristilahan, harus diakui bahwa bahasa Inggris jauh lebih efektif dan efisien dibanding bahasa Indonesia.
Sukses terus buat fatihsyuhud…
mohom pencerahan, apakah widget translator saya sdh cukup untuk go internasional, atau saya harus buat blog lagi?
#sebaiknya dibuat blog lagi yg khusus bahasa inggris. akan sangat menarik.
google translate sangat tidak mencukupi untuk artikel
Google translator is a machine while language is human. Karena Google translator sifatnya mekanis, maka hasil terjemahannya akan “aneh-aneh”, nama mantan presiden AS yang digantikan Obama dalam terjemahan bahasa kita menjadi “George Semak Belukan”. Emangnya tikus atau burung puyuh? Hahahaha.
I’m agree with you…
Let’s make Indonesia better
nice notes, tq prend
good article.. where is your tweetthis button
#i integrate it with the feedburner feedflare. can’t you see it?
I love Indonesia language … but I blog in english , just to get google adsense
hmm.., very good. so inspiring
will prepare a new one in english and wish to fly abroad with free tickets ha-ha-ha 
I think, it’s very difficult to find good niche, and we can write it with our professionalsm …
I definitely agree with you, I, myself have been trying to blog in English. Even though my English isn’t good at all, but, I always push myself harder and harder everyday for a better improvement and achievement.
Everyone is welcome to visit my blog at http://www.indodaily.net, I would really appreciate any feedbacks and critiques.
Thank you for this inspiring article
Sometime I want to do as you do, but my english not very well.
Maybe I must learn more and more from you..Thank …
my english isn’t good.. but i will keep practice and try to build blog with english language.. ^_^
for practising english, writing blog with english language is good.
bener ga iku susunane? hehehe
bahasa inggris saya nol besar mas fatih.. saya belajar banyak lewat site anda, saya rasa mulai sekarang saya mencoba menulis blog lewat bahasa inggris, mencoba memahami realita. keep blogging
I guess blogging in English is one thing and nationalism is another. Using English doesn’t necessarily mean someone lacks proud of his/her own national language. Language is just a tool. Speaking Indonesian all the time with foreigners is as ridiculous as using English all the time with our fellow Indonesians. In a nutshell, use English to get wider scope of audience..
btw,Google translate isn’t reliable enough, but it’s better than nothing…
love this blog
yah pengen sih….
tapi bahasa inggris ku kacau sekali…. TT
Salam kenal mas…
Nice article
A good motivation for young bloggers like me who are still new in this world so may be useful for other colleagues, because now not only a media blog written for us but also as an enhancer of our funds yes … ngak mas
Well done. Keep moving on your creativity. I’ll follow you and read your blog. It’s just nice and very useful. Of course I’ll learn a lot from the Blog. Just like you are all, my friend, I my self am beginning to learn to write and to manage some website and blog. I found it difficult, I mean, it need our courage and creativity, patient and endurance. It’s really not an easy job, so I’d like very much appreciate what have all Indonesian Blogers done for their creativity and great efforts. Again, although English is not our language, it’s such a great language ever created by God for human global community perusal. Take every positive side from it. For those who want to discuss about Writing in English with me, may visit my site here, register and begin discussing directly with me. But we will focus our topic on Baduy, its people, land and mind. God Luck!
I realy want post article in english but my english is not good,but i want to try it to improve my english
As the international language, it’s nice to blogging learning with english. Thanks for sharing word together
yeah..i learn english with blogging
Yeah with time passing by one can also learn some English while making some blogs. I did.
alasan yang logis.
keep moving guyssss…
good idea, nice post. visit my site
Betul juga tapi buat saya pribadi masih berat untuk ngeblog pake bahasa inggris
nice artikel.. semua pakai bhs inggris.. titik2 seng mudeng.. hehe
A blog is a place where things which incite passion in someone are written and posted. Best to ask yourself if there is an author, story and/or genre that incites that passion, then use that as a name for the blog. You may also try using an author’s last name and part of one of their more popular stories to generate a name.
Bener juga ya…jika sy bisa berbhs Inggris (blog sy bisa Tampil di Dunia)…sayang, dulu ketika masuk pelajaran bhs Inggris (sy selalu CABUT alias bolos sekolah), kalo’ gak kan, bisa seperti blognya mas “Fatih” ini (laris maniiiis..)
thanks info and good article

English is an international language. We need to improve our English since the global interactions become important nowadays. We have to be able to compete with other countries.
The international communication will mostly use English. We cannot avoid this reality. I believe that Indonesian people will become good English bloggers. Keep on moving and be successful people.
Do promotion for your blog like, Blog directory submission, rss feed submission, social bookmarking etc.
hai, your site of http://www.fatihsyuhud.com/ is now publish at my site of http://www.intothepresence.com/, my site is give dofollow link, chek at backlinkwatchdotcom, hope the love link from this site
true especially if you are blogging for money

If your subject matter, style, personality have particularly interesting traits, try to pick a blog name based on one of these.
GOOD!
saya setuju dg postingannya
Dear Cak Fatih,
Maybe I’m too late to find your blog, but better late than never. I was redirected by someone to your fabulous English blog. My fifteen-year experiences as a national instructor (a national trainer of English trainers) forces me to agree with you in great admiration.
Please, spare some of your time to read my comments on comments in your blog. I will also, in returns, spare some of my time to visit your blog to encourage the visitors to practise and develop their English writing skills through blogging.
Your English has been almost perfect (it sounds very English). Maybe, some of your visitors feel inferior to write comments in your blog, but that’s okay. I will encourage them to write and write in English without any feeling of guilty if they make grammatical mistakes.
Success may always be yours.
Best regards.
salam kenal mas, english memang bahasa dunia,sudah selayaknya kita menggunakannya kalau ingin blog kita di kenal dunia….sukses mas
