Abstract: The increasing demand for Halal products, particularly in Malaysia, underscores the importance of ensuring compliance with Islamic principles to cater to both local and international Muslim consumers. This study explores the challenges faced by Halal small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Malaysia, focusing on language barriers and the integration of Arabic-Malay translations in Halal food applications. A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted to identify key issues, such as the lack of awareness, limited availability of Halal-certified products, and the complexity of local language adaptation. Findings reveal that the Halal logo, certificates, and misunderstanding of Halal practices are significant obstacles. Methodologies, including models and frameworks, are evaluated for their effectiveness in overcoming these challenges. The study emphasizes the necessity of robust language translation frameworks to enhance user experience and trust. Recommendations include adopting comprehensive strategies to improve translation accuracy, usability, and inclusivity in Halal applications to support global Muslim communities.
