Ivan Lanin advances the use of Indonesian through Narabahasa, KBBI contributions and language advocacy across digital platforms and public institutions

Infusing linguistic precision into Indonesia’s digital and public spheres, Ivan Lanin leads Narabahasa and contributed to the fifth edition of the national dictionary, KBBI. His online advocacy earned him the Ministry of Education and Culture’s Peneroka Bahasa Indonesia Daring award. His professional footprint spans training staff at the Nusantara Capital Authority in official correspondence and advising on preparatory discussions for Bank Indonesia’s 2025 economic report. Having previously served as an Indonesian translation editor at Google, he bridges linguistic expertise with institutional practice to embed clear Indonesian into public communication, professional frameworks, and everyday understanding.
