インドネシア is used to refer to the country of Indonesia.

Meaning: country (name)

How does it change in a sentence?

As a foreign country name, インドネシア is written using the katakana script.

Indoneshia

When referring to the 'East Indies' in a historical context, Japanese uses 東インド諸島, which shares the root インド with インドネシア but refers to a different colonial-era entity.
In Japanese, the pronunciation of インドネシア follows a strict syllable-timed rhythm, which can sound quite different from the English emphasis on the second syllable.
While English speakers use the letter 'n' to bridge sounds, a Japanese speaker will clearly articulate the 'n' sound (ん) as a distinct rhythmic beat within インドネシア.
