peer agreement (net): +3We look far and wide / Forward looking Explanation: I'm not sure if you are trying to translate a motto for use in English, or understand a motto written in Malaysian. If you are preparing an existing motto for English speakers here is what I suggest. As a motto I would be more concerned with what your are trying to say than a direct translation. An English equivelant or near equivelant depends not only on intention but also the nature of the business being represented. kita cari jauh - we look far meaning to be extensive in your work 1. look far and wide 2. no stone unturned If 'jauh' in your motto implies 'far' into the future 1. forward looking 2. searching for long term [solutions] |
