Kecap is not necessarily sweet. There is also kecap asin for example. Therefore this sentence should be changed.
in indonesia, it seems so. 'kecap manis' is the sweet soy sauce that is famously indonesian. i imagine, due to its popularity there, it's simply abbreviated to 'kecap'.
i would say for many outside of indonesia, soy sauce is salty by default - 'kecap asin' in indonesian.
i keep typing simply 'soy sauce' as a translation for 'kecap' and get marked incorrect. could this also be an acceptable translation to add to the database?
