"He does not think but speaks." should be accepted. You don't need to repeat "he".

    "Talks" should be able to substitute for "speaks"

      If you want 'she' twice then put 'dia' twice (lah!)

      The colloquial is He speaks without thinking and is much more commonly used in English

        yes, or 's/he doesn't think before speaking'. i think both would be better natural english translations of what i think the indonesian sentence is saying.
