Malaysian STM members - could you help with a language question please?

I'm trying to get some text translated into Manglish (which if I understand it right is a sort of slang language that's a mixture of Malaysian and English).

I can't find much on Google to help me. What I have found is mostly a few websites listing some popular Manglish words/phrases, and translators/apps that will translate FROM Manglish INTO Malaysian or English. But that's not helpful because I want to translate INTO Manglish.

I have a feeling my proto-Manglish translations (using the few Manglish words I have found) are wrong and missing the point of Manglish, so I want to translate them better.

So my question is, could anyone help me achieve this please? If you know of any resources/sites that might help me better translate a few words (say from English) into Manglish?

Your Accent Come From Where
Come on lah
You got eat lunch or not

I can't help myself but to give you some examples.
To be honest, I don't know any service that provides translation into manglish or Singlish (Singapore and English; both are about the same).
Not many people would like to translate a proper sentence into a "messed up" sentence.
That been said, you can give onehourtranslation a try. You may need to go back and forth with your translator, stating what you really want to achieve with your translation, which is English into manglish.

There are a bunch of great websites that give guides to local slang for various languages - have you checked to see if any of them have guides / tips / advice for Manglish?
