INDOMALAY DICTIONARY MOBILE APPLICATION WITH AGILE SCRUM METHOD

Abstract

In an era of rapid globalization, effective cross-language communication is essential, particularly between Indonesia and Malaysia, which share linguistic and cultural roots. However, variations in dialects and vocabulary pose significant challenges. To address this, we developed the IndoMalay Dictionary mobile application using the Agile Scrum methodology. This application provides instant word search and contextual translation to improve translation accuracy. The research involved iterative software development, integrating White Box and Black Box Testing to ensure functionality and performance reliability. White Box Testing results showed an 88% success rate, with identified areas for improvement in contextual translation (25% failure rate). These findings highlight the need for further enhancements in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and database expansion. The Agile Scrum approach enabled continuous user-driven improvements, making the IndoMalay Dictionary a flexible and efficient linguistic tool. Future enhancements, including speech recognition and offline mode, aim to optimize user experience. This study contributes to the development of digital linguistic solutions, facilitating better communication between Indonesia and Malaysia.
