I'm reading Babel manual page 18 and there are bahasa, indonesian, indon, and bahasai babel.
I want ask " What is difference it?". I am from Indonesia and I confused use it for hyphenation better. Is Indonesian babel better than others? Or Not, Can you explain it ?

I would suggest you use the siunitx package and set the comma as decimal point by \sisetup{output-decimal-marker = {,}}.
Using this package will also allow you to use some other very nice features that you'll find handy, such as 3-number separators, SI units, D columns (when dealing with tables full of numbers) and much more!
Take a look at the siunitx package documentation.
Also, according to section 4.1 of the "Estilo spanish para el sistema babel", you can set the use of comma as decimal point by \decimalcomma.
In other words, load the babel package like this: \usepackage[spanish,finnish]{babel} (so your main language is finnish) and then set the comma as decimal point by \decimalcomma.
Finally, as suggested by cgnieder, you could try looking at this post: How to convert dots to commas in mathmode?
To get the "= shorthand directive to work in your document, you must replace
\usepackage[english]{babel}
with
\usepackage[ngerman,english]{babel}
\useshorthands{"}
\addto\extrasenglish{\languageshorthands{ngerman}}
See babel: Adding ngerman' s language shorthands to english as the main document language for more information on this subject.
Once this adjustment is made, it would appear that \hyp{...} and "= perform very similarly. The "= would appear to be a lot easier to use in practice, though.
The vertical frame lines in the following screenshot are placed by the showframe package.
\documentclass[10pt,a5paper,twoside]{article}
\usepackage{hyphenat} % for "\hyp" macro
%% See https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/27198/5001:
\usepackage[ngerman,english]{babel}
\useshorthands{"}
\addto\extrasenglish{\languageshorthands{ngerman}}
\usepackage{showframe,microtype} % just for this example

There is none. As you talk Bahasa Indonesia, you should load
\usepackage[bahasai]{babel}, which is a direct (non-synonym) link to thebahasa.dtxfile.From the manual page 18:
This means that "Bahasa bahasa, indonesian, indon, bahasai, bahasam, malay, meyalu" are all synonyms. You should load one of these in your document, when you use any of these languages (can't tell, if those languages are different as I don't speak any of them). They will support you with hyphenation and all other features which will most certainly be described in the documentation.
In order to proof this I had a look in the source:
So there seam to be two non-synonym options
bahasaiandbahasam. I am not able to translate this, but maybe those names make it clear to you.
