Travelling to Malaysia with a peanut or tree nut allergy? This Peanut & Tree Nut Allergy Translation Card – English & Malay gives you a clear, polite way to explain your allergy to restaurant, hawker stall, café and hotel staff when you can't rely on a shared language.

What the card says: that you have a peanut and tree nut allergy, that even small amounts could cause a severe allergic reaction needing medical attention, and that nut oils, extracts and flours are included. It lists nuts to avoid, asks whether the food contains peanuts or tree nuts, and politely requests clean gloves, utensils, surfaces, cookware and frying oil when your meal is prepared, finishing with a thank you in Malay.

How to use it: show it before you order, not after. Keep it on your phone, or print and laminate copies for your wallet, day bag and hotel room.

• Instant digital download, English on one side and Malay on the other
• Credit-card size, works on your phone or printed
• Useful in restaurants, hawker centres, food courts and hotels in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Langkawi, Borneo and beyond

Which countries is Malay useful in? Malay (Bahasa Malaysia) is the national language of Malaysia, and is also one of Singapore's official languages. English is widely used in tourist areas of both, but a card in Malay helps in smaller places and at busy stalls. Malay is close to Indonesian but they are separate languages: for Indonesia, including Bali, use our Indonesian card.

The card supports communication, but it can't guarantee that a dish or kitchen is safe. Always check ingredients, carry any prescribed medication and follow your healthcare professional's advice.
