English term or phrase: geolocated
"With thousands of geolocated articles at your disposal, ....."

Is there a single Malay word for this? If not, what translation would you suggest?

Thank you very much!

tergeolokasi; bergeolokasi
Explanation:
1) I don't think there is a Malay word for this yet, single or otherwise.

2) My suggestion is based on transplanting the prefix geo as is, because there is precedence of such usage & coinage in Malay [albeit for technical terms], and the definitions below:

located [adj] = terletak, bertempat

geolocation [n] = the identification of the real-world geographic location of an object, such as a radar, mobile phone or an Internet-connected computer terminal. Geolocation may refer to the practice of assessing the location, or to the actual assessed location. Geolocation is closely related to positioning but can be distinguished from it by a greater emphasis on determining a meaningful location (e.g. a street address) rather than just a set of geographic coordinates

"geolokasi" or geo-lokasi


Explanation:
"geo" is from "geography" which in Malay is "geografi". So "geo" would remain as it is.

"located" translates as "lokasi" or "bertempat". My opinion is that "lokasi" is more appropriate here.

Thus "geolocated" translates as "geolokasi". There are a few websites using "geolokasi" and one of them I have listed below as website reference.

Example sentence(s):
  • HootSuite has geo-located search built right in allowing you to filter your search
  • HootSuite mempunyai carian geolokasi yang terbina dalam yang membenarkan anda untuk menapis carian anda

geolokasi


Explanation:
Agree with yam2u and bopih. Despite there's no single word, I'm sure that"geolokasi" can be used.

i) "Geo" is use as a prefix in Malay. Examples of words using "geo" as prefix: geosedimen, geoatol, geosilika, geogranit etc. All these words are not Malay origin. "Geo" also is use as prefix with Malay words such as "geojelma", "geosepadan", "geogelinciran" etc.

ii) "Lokasi" itself is accepted as a Malay word which mean "location".

iii) Like yam2u said and the examples given by bopih, there are precedences of such usage the word in writings.
