Abstract

This study examined the translation techniques used to convey political satire in Animal Farm by George Orwell into Indonesian. The research applied a qualitative descriptive approach based on Molina and Albir’s framework of translation techniques. The data consisted of satirical expressions identified in the English source text and their Indonesian translation by Bakdi Soemanto. The analysis showed that several techniques are used in translating political satire, with literal translation often used to maintain the original meaning and stylistic features of the source text, while modulation helps adjust expressions so that they sound more natural in Indonesian. Other techniques, such as transportation and adaptation, are also found but occur less frequently. The findings suggested that the translator attempts to preserve the satirical tone and ideological criticism embedded in the original text while ensuring that the translation remains clear and accessible for Indonesian readers. This study contributed to translation studies by highlighting how different translation techniques can influence the transfer of satire and ideological meaning across languages.
