No, there is no plugin for converting a language into your desired languiages, however there is one plugin which converts "posts" language into your desired language: http://community.mybb.com/thread-68108.html & http://mods.mybb.com/view/inline-google-translation .

webmi, I can't help with translating, not any good in maleis , but one good thing to use is winmerge, then you can load english on one side, and load a new english on the other side, the one you are going to translate.
(so make a copy of english language, rename it to maleis/indonesian, and load both into winmerge, one language file at the time. Save and you are good to go.

When Mybb gets an update (just like for a couple of days ago), you can load the files mybb have made changes in, and the one you have already translated, and you will then see the difference, winmerge gives color where there is a diff

Sure, you can also update the language lines via the Admin CP (Configuration > Languages), whenever you have to set the data allowances correctly (i.e. admit the language files to be inscribed forms). The preparations were performed before this functionality was prepared. For German translations you can also visit this website Aussie German Translations Services (http://aussiegermantranslation.com.au/)
