English term or phrase: Answer all questions
Hi all

I already have the translation "Jawab semua pertanyaan" but it was done by an Indonesian.

I've read in wiki that Indonesian is a dialect of Malay, so it can explain why an Indonesian translator sent it to me.
But I just need a second opinion :)

Can you confirm that my translation is valid in Malay?

Thank you

Explanation:
The word "question" translated to Malay (Malaysia) is "soalan". (source: http://sbmb.dbp.gov.my/prpm/Search.aspx?k=question)

Eventhough "pertanyaan" also can be used, but the meaning of pertanyaan is actually "inquiry". (source: http://sbmb.dbp.gov.my/prpm/Search.aspx?k=inquiry)

"Soalan" is commonly used (instead of pertanyaan) in Malay (malaysia) in the context of the given phrase.
