In English the word “ed.” is the abbreviation for “editor” (person who edits) and “eds.” for “editors” (people who edit). This means the letter “s” at the end of the word “eds.” indicates that it is a plural word. In Indonesian, the plural word is indicated by writing the same word twice, not by adding the letter “s”. For example, the word “pena” (single word) and “pena-pena” (plural word), not "penas". However, because of its length, it is sufficient to write “(ed.)”, Not “(eds.)” For editors, as it is in English.

Guidelines for Transliteration of Arabic letters to Latin:

LETTER			LETTER
ARABIC		LATIN	ARAB		LATIN
ء	=	’	ط	=	t / ṭ
ب	=	b	ظ	=	z / ẓ
ت	=	t	ع	=	‘
ث	=	ts	غ	=	gh
ج	=	j	ف	=	f
ح	=	h / ḥ	ق	=	q
خ	=	kh	ك	=	k
د	=	d	ل	=	l
ذ	=	dz	م	=	m
ر	=	r	ن	=	n
ز	=	z	هـ	=	h
س	=	s	و	=	w
ش	=	sy	ي		y
ص	=	s / ṣ	ة	=	ḧ
ض	=	d / ḍ

Notice the difference between the transliteration of the letters hamzaḧ and ‘ayn above, which is the apostrophe that faces to the left (‘) for the letter hamzah, and the comma above facing to the right (’) for the letter‘ayn. For Arabic transliteration, the letter stopped wāw (sukūn) is written with the letter “w” (not “u”), while the letter stopped yā’ (sukūn) with “y” (not “i”).
