"They live in Jakarta."

Translation: Mereka tinggal di Jakarta.

[GeorgeMakarov]

Why is "Mereka hidup di Jakarta" not acceptable?

[Christophe621913]

Tinggal is more similar to stay/live in, while hidup is to be alive. Both should be accepted though

[Maryam151880]

Nice question. Google says it is right

[Ikxi8]

When you click on "live" then it also show the translation "hidup" in the list.
So, yes.
