Translation Coordination
National committees translate Bapak’s and Ibu’s talks into their local languages. The WSA Translation Coordinator oversees this process and liaises with Subud Publications International (SPI). Completed translations are available in Dutch, French, German, Japanese, Portuguese, and Russian.
Subud Publications International (SPI)
SPI is an independent entity that translates and publishes Bapak’s Talks from Indonesian into English. These English translations then serve as the basis for all further language translations. Professional editors and proof-readers ensure the quality of published materials.
